The best Wedding Dance ever.
Congratulations on your engagement! An exciting day needs an exciting dance to top it off. Ballroom Baby are Geelong's wedding dance specialists. We can help you create a dance that is unique and beautiful, from a simple traditional waltz, to a complex mash up. We have done it all. Once you book in your first lesson, your instructor will meet with you to discuss what you want your dance to look like. We recommend starting as early as possible. We can also take lessons with your friends and family or wedding party so they too can be part of your big day.

Bookings & Information
Lessons are $80 per 60 minutes and available most days of the week by appointment. To book, please click ‘book now’. You will be asked for some information and a pre-payment of $80. This will be used to cover your first lesson in accordance with our no show policy. Once we recieve your request, we will contact you to arrange a suitable time.
What should our dance look like?
We think that your first dance as a married couple should reflect your relationship. Whether it’s sweet and simple or fast paced and thrilling, your wedding guests should say, “that is so them!”. It’s best to start by picking a song which you both like. Then we can get to work on choreographing a dance with your influence as the lessons progress. Have you seen something you liked? We can probably do that too!
When should we start?
In a perfect world, it is best to start as early as you can. We’ve had couples come in almost every week for year to put together the performance of a lifetime. You can also start some lessons now, practice at home, then pick it up again just before the big day.
However, we understand that time gets away from us so we can design your dance based on how many weeks you’ve got left, whether you have 2 weeks or 20 weeks.
How do we get started?

Picking the right song!
We often get asked ‘can you recommend a song for our wedding dance?’. We don’t like to pick the song for you because it is your dance and it should be about you but we can give you the following tips to help you pick a wedding dance song:
The song should mean something to you both (like it reminds you of an event in your relationship, the lyrics resonate with you both, or it just makes you both want to dance!). This is the most important thing to consider. If you still can’t decide - think about the following:
Remember the audience who might be watching your dance - it’s about you but also your wedding guests should enjoy the song too. If there will be young children or elderly family members at the wedding , that may factor into your song choice.
Think about the theme or ‘vibe’ of your wedding. How will the song fit into that theme?
The song should have a clear rhythm and be easy to hear the beat. The clearer the beat, the easier the song will be to dance to.
Consider where else you might hear the song and if that will impact your decision (ie does it play often on a TV ad, or have you heard it at someone else’s wedding?).
Does the song have a good structure? For example - a long slow intro might mean a bit of waiting around, as opposed to a song that gets into the lyrics straightaway, or a song that has a great peak or highlight within the first 2-3 minutes meaning you can end the dance at the right time.
Remember, the most important thing is that we can choreograph a wedding dance to any piece of music, so your first consideration should be a song that means something to your relationship.
Do you cater to same-sex couples?
Yes! Ballroom Baby Geelong is proud to be an ally of LGBT+ community and run by LGBT+ people. We have helped many couples shape their unique wedding dance and would be honoured to help you too.
