Our initial attempts to learn from YouTube videos without a dance instructor was not working out at all, when we weren’t kicking and tripping over each other (LOL) we were getting really frustrated at our lack of coordination, so we decided to call the TC Dance Club to see if they could help us since we only had 3 months left before the wedding. They were so welcoming and receptive, the instructors Lyn and Richard danced the Argentine Tango for us and we were so impressed and said “YES, we want to do that!”

We signed up for 15 lessons since we didn’t have much time before the wedding. I highly recommend to those couples that want to learn how to dance for their wedding, give yourself a lot more time, just like you plan other parts of your wedding a year well in advance, you should do the same for dance lessons. It will not only give you plenty of time to get comfortable with dancing so that it comes natural, it will give you a nice break from the stress of planning your wedding.

After the wedding, we realized how much we had enjoyed the lessons and went back to TC Dance Club to sign up for more lessons, this time we brought our best friends Magda and Yvette to join us. Who knew that dancing could be so much fun! It’s 2017 and we continue to participate in lessons and dance parties. The parties are a great way to practice what you learn with other people and have a fun evening. We are currently practicing various dances to reach Bronze level including “Rumba”, “Cha Cha”, “Mambo”, “Waltz”, “Foxtrot”, “Hustle”, and “East Coast Swing”. The instructors Lyn Olechnovich, Richard Sorger and JohnHenry Martinez are so patient, skilled and fun to learn from. We are also looking forward to dancing with the new instructor Rachel Presley.

As the saying goes… “Dance like no one is watching”
