Wedding Party Choreography
Due to the wildly popluar "you tube wedding couple", BBDA is now offering lessons for brides to be, mothers of the groom and their wedding parties. We have had the pleasure of working with our first wedding couple, and it has been a hit! Lessons can include popluar social dances, as well as special choreography for a couple's first dance. If you are interested in making your first dance one to remember, please call to set up rehearsal times. We look forward to working with you.
