Start early. You don’t necessarily need to purchase lots of lessons, but you do need time to develop muscle memory if you want to be comfortable and confident with your dancing skills. We suggest starting your dance lessons 2-3 months ahead of your date. Most couples take 5-10 lessons and practice in between.
