What if we have zero dance experience?

That is exactly who this program is built for. Around 90% of our wedding couples have never taken a dance lesson. Our Fort Worth instructors break movement into simple, repeatable steps that feel natural rather than robotic.

How much do wedding dance lessons cost in Fort Worth?

You start with a $49 intro private lesson at our Fort Worth studio. After that, most couples book a small package of 3 to 5 private lessons; your instructor prices a program around your song, your timeline and how much choreography you want. There is no obligation beyond the intro lesson.

How close to the wedding can we start?

We have had couples start two days before the wedding and still pull off a beautiful routine. Three to four weeks out is the sweet spot — enough time to learn, practice and feel confident without stress.

Can you choreograph to any song?

Yes. Whether it is a classic ballad, a George Strait two-step, a Texas country waltz or a surprise hip-hop mashup, we choreograph to the structure and emotion of your specific track. Bring it to your intro lesson and we will map it out.

Do you teach the Texas Two-Step for the reception?

We do. A lot of Fort Worth receptions turn country after the first dance, so we teach the Texas Two-Step, country swing and a simple country waltz. Learning the two-step means you and your wedding party can stay on the floor all night instead of sitting it out.

What should we wear to lessons — can I dance in boots?

Comfortable clothes and shoes with smooth soles. Cowboy boots are ideal for two-step work and many Fort Worth grooms dance in them, so bring the pair you plan to wear. Brides should bring their wedding shoes to the final lesson. Avoid rubber-soled sneakers, which grip the floor too much.

Where is the Fort Worth studio located?

Dance With Me Fort Worth is at 5259 Marathon Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76107, just off Chisholm Trail Parkway near The Shops at Clearfork, with free on-site parking. We are open Monday through Friday from noon to 9pm and Saturday from 10:30am to 2pm, and we are an easy drive from the Cultural District, TCU, Westover Hills, Benbrook, Aledo, Southlake, Colleyville, Keller and Arlington.

Most Fort Worth Couples Wait Too Long. Then Panic.

You've booked the venue — Brik, The Ostreum, Colonial, a barn out past Aledo. You have the dress, the photographer, the band. But the first dance? You're "just going to wing it." Here's why that rarely works:

The "Awkward Sway"

Without a plan, you end up rocking back and forth for three minutes while your guests check their phones. The photos look stiff. The memory feels embarrassing.

Every Guest Is Filming

In the age of TikTok and Instagram Stories, your first dance isn't just a moment — it's content. One awkward step becomes a video that lives forever.

The Dress, the Boots, the Floor

That gown wasn't designed for dancing, and neither were the boots he's wearing. Without simple choreography you risk tripping, tangling — or spending the whole song staring at your feet.

Then the Band Plays a Two-Step

At a Texas reception the floor fills fast. If you never learned the two-step, you spend your own party sitting at the head table watching everyone else dance.

A Simple, Elegant Routine. Tailored to Your Song.

Our Fort Worth Wedding Dance Package isn't about becoming a pro. It's about feeling natural, connected, and confident for three minutes. Ricky, Shely and the DWM Fort Worth team choreograph to your comfort level — whether that's a romantic sway with one clean spin, a country waltz, or a full entrance that stops the room.

Works with Any Song

Ballad, country, R&B or a two-step — even a flash-mob surprise.

Zero Experience Needed

We specialize in couples who have never danced together.

Built for Your Dress & Boots

We rehearse in what you'll actually wear — gown, heels, or boots.

Weeknights & Saturdays

Lessons until 9pm off Chisholm Trail Pkwy — even two weeks out.

How he started

Ricardo, or “Ricky” as his students call him, started dancing at the age of 8. As a child he preferred football, but one day his mother convinced him to take a dance class. After the first lesson, he was hooked.

Competing and coaching

Ricky’s passion for knowledge, perfection, and competitive nature drove his love for dance and pushed him towards competing in International Standard and Latin. At the age of 14, Ricky started coaching other young competitive couples and quickly became known as a young leader and ambassador for the sport.

He participated in many South American and Pan-American championships, winning several titles and representing Ecuador on the official Ecuadorian Dance Sport team.
