A newly married couple dances at their wedding. Whether you're looking for some basic dance moves or a custom-choreographed dance, there are plenty of local dance studios that can offer instruction. 

Whether you're dreaming of a first wedding dance that goes viral or one that's romantic and intimate, we're guessing you could use a few pointers. 

(Or if you're as graceful as a swan, consider us jealous.)

A lot of ballroom dance studios have wedding-specific packages. Or you could just take a few basic lessons so you can tackle that first dance, bridal party flash mob or mother-son dance with confidence. 

Here are some options.
