Beginner’s Guide: Finding A Choreographer For Your Wedding Dance
The choreography for your dance on your big W-day needs to be spectacular, so finding the right teacher will take some time. By following this guide, scouting out the perfect choreographer for the job will be much easier for you.

Take a look at their website and figure out what work they have previously done. It’s a good sign if the choreographer is currently working for couples within the wedding industry as they will be able to work upon their knowledge in that field. Also check if there is any reviews on their site, so you know what other couples thought about them.
2. Compare Prices
For your wedding, you will want to try and save as much money as possible. However with your statement wedding dance, cheaper isn’t always the best option. Get a few quotes from choreographers you like and don’t always book the cheapest to save on cash – always go for the one you have a gut feeling about and you like the style of.
3. Try Out Recommendations
If someone you know and trust has had a special dance choreographed for them before, you should ask them if they have any recommendations. The might be able to tell you the people to avoid, the companies who wasted their time, and the best choreographers they found – it will save you a lot of time and energy!
4. Make Sure You Have A Good Relationship
Once you’ve started talking to choreographers about what they can offer you, make sure you get on with them. If your personalities clash, then you can cross them off your list. If you get on like a house on fire, however, you know they’d be a good choice. Getting a wedding dance choreographed should be heaps of fun and be a good environment to learn new skills, so make friends with your teacher to get the best out of your rehearsals.

If you’re not comfortable with a certain move or part of the dance, tell them. If you think something would be done better a different way, tell them. If you think of a cool idea that you could add to the choreography yourself, be honest and tell them! Your teacher will really appreciate your input and remember you can only do your wedding dance once, so make it the best one.
