Shot 01 — The floor
Your first dance is about three minutes long. We treat it like a scene: the walk-in, the first turn, the middle where it gets fun, and the dip. You rehearse it in our Austin studio until it stops being a routine and starts being yours.
The shot list
Shot 01 was the empty floor. These are the four that decide how the night goes — and every package is just a way of rehearsing them. Start with the shot you're most worried about.
Shot 02
Wide
The MC says your names and the whole room turns. You have the length of the intro to cross the floor, find your hold and breathe out. Most couples rush this part. We rehearse it until it's slow.
Rehearsed in private lessons
Shot 03
Close
Hands find their place, the count starts, and the two of you stop looking at your feet. This is the shot where the song stops being background noise and starts being something you're doing together.
Rehearsed with choreography
Shot 04
Medium
Shot four: the part where you stop counting and start dancing. It arrives somewhere past the first chorus, and you can't force it. You can only get there often enough that it shows up on the night.
Rehearsed in group classesClose
The last chord lands, you hold the shape, and the room is on its feet. This is the one shot everybody photographs, and the one that only works if the four shots before it did.
Rehearsed online, on your own floor
Director's note
Nobody is watching in here. That's the whole point of the room.
Rehearsal
Our studio is in Austin, and it's where the work actually happens — the same four walls, the same floor, week after week, until the song stops surprising you. Come in with a song you love and a date on the calendar, and we'll take it from there.
Just the two of you and one instructor, working on one song. We build the choreography around what your feet already do.
Couples at every stage, learning on the same floor at the same time. An easy way to start before the date gets close.
You bring the song, we bring the shot list. Every count mapped to a moment you'll remember on the night.
The same shot list on your own floor, on your own schedule. Pause, rewind, run it again in the kitchen.
Packages
Each one covers the same shot list to a different depth. Pick by how many of the five shots you want rehearsed before the day.
For the couple with one song, a date that's close, and no time to spare.
Every shot, in order, from the walk-in to the dip — with room to make it yours.
The same shot list, your living room, your schedule. For couples who aren't in Austin yet.
Not sure which one fits? Tell us the song and the date, and we'll tell you which shots it needs.
