Whether you want a showstopper or just don’t want to embarasse yourself in front of your guests, it’s a good idea to take some dance lessons several months in advance of your wedding. Twiggy123 from our chatroom says: ‘ I’ve had first dance lessons – two lessons so far and it’s been great fun! We have 2 minutes of our 2.3 min routine completed! A studio might actually be better as there are mirrors and you can see what you are doing!’.
