Natalie M. says, "My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Ashley from Aesthetic Dance Studios to prepare for our first dance at our wedding, and she was truly incredible! From the moment we met her, she made us feel comfortable, confident, and excited about dancing together—something neither of us had much experience with before. She not only taught us choreography that fit our style and song perfectly, but she also went above and beyond in every way. She took the time to make sure we felt great in every step, helped troubleshoot a bustle issue with my dress (lifesaver!), and even offered to help us with additional choreography if my dress issue was not solved. Her support, patience, and warm energy made a huge difference during a very busy and emotional time. We can’t thank her enough for helping us create such a special moment on our big day. We got so many compliments on how amazing we were! Highly, highly recommend her to any couple preparing for their wedding dance—or any dance at all!"See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do you wear to swing dance lessons?

Swing dance is an increasingly popular style of ballroom dance with a dress code that reflects its roots in the 1920s-1940s jazz era. Although many studios don’t require historically accurate costumes for their private dance lessons, many dancers want to dress the part. You can wear clothes that are comfortable to move — and sweat — in, such as T-shirts and loose skirts or khakis. Or for an appropriately vintage look, women often wear shirt dresses with a knee-length A-line or circle skirt that allows for plenty of swishy movement. Men usually opt for a button-down shirt and trousers. The most important part of a swing dance outfit is the shoes. Both men and women can opt for simple sneakers, like Keds, or leather dance shoes, such as saddle shoes. Until you have several dance lessons under your belt, stay away from heels.

How much do dance lessons cost?

Adults who want to learn to dance, whether to prepare for a wedding or to meet new people, often enjoy taking dance lessons from an experienced dance instructor. Instructors may offer classes one-on-one to individual students or couples, or to small groups. The national average cost for a dance instructor ranges from $30 to $50. Some studios offer a discounted introductory lessons or group lessons, as well as package deals that are more affordable than paying for individual lessons. Some dance instructors will travel to the student’s home, which usually costs more, while others hold small-group sessions in their studios. If you choose a small-group class, expect to pay less than for individual dance lessons.
