I want to take dance lessons, but my fiancé is against the idea. What can I do?

The idea of dance lessons is often a very foreign idea to many people here in Vancouver. It’s just not part of our culture.  Many people look at TV shows such as ‘Dancing With the Stars’ or ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and say that there’s no way they would want to do that.  However, dance lessons for your wedding dance don’t have to be that intense; they can be totally different.

Unlike our modern society today, the dance floor is still a traditional place where the man must take full responsibility in leading his lady.  It just looks too awkward when a lady is leading a man around the floor.

Therefore, dance lessons are very much about a man learning how to lead his lady and for a lady to follow the indications given by her man.  All the fancy steps, extra arm styling and emotional gestures are just optional additions to an otherwise very technical skill of leading and following.
