### [Dance Classes for Your Wedding: First Dance Lessons in Dallas](https://blogs.studio22dallas.com/dance-classes-for-wedding-dallas)
Most couples start wedding dance lessons 2–3 months before the wedding. Studio 22 Dallas builds custom first-dance choreography to your song in 45-minute private lessons, priced per couple. A five-lesson Signature package is the usual path; last-minute prep is available when schedules allow.

Q: When should we start wedding dance lessons?
A: Starting 2–3 months out is the usual timeline. Studio 22 aims for weekly lessons so you can practice between sessions. For a 5-lesson package, the studio plans about a 7-week window before you leave for the wedding so there is room to reschedule.
Q: How long is each wedding lesson?
A: Wedding lessons are 45 minutes of private instruction for the couple in shared studio space. A private room may be available for an extra charge — ask the desk.
Q: How many lessons do we need?
A: Most couples do well with the Signature package (5 lessons) for a polished, comfortable first dance. Choose Elite (10) for more choreography, lifts, or less practice at home. A single lesson is a way to test the fit.
Q: Are packages priced per person or per couple?
A: All wedding lesson options at Studio 22 Dallas are priced for up to two people. If someone else is paying, they can purchase a gift card for the package amount. See current prices on the wedding page.
Q: What if one of us has never danced?
A: That is normal. Most couples start that way. Instructors teach leading and following from the ground up so you progress together.
Q: Can we use our own song?
A: Yes. Bring your music. The studio designs steps that fit the tempo, mood, and feel of your celebration — rumba, waltz, salsa, swing, tango, and more.

A: No. A partner is not required. Group classes typically rotate partners so everyone gets practice, and coming solo is completely normal and encouraged.
