Christyn from Sinclair Dance Studio holds a special place in my heart. The many hours we’ve spent traversing the aisles of Lowes, tearing out kitchen cabinets with our construction worker-like strength, pouring over home design ideas, poking fun at HGTV’s cookie-cutter designs, photographing countless weddings, and scouring every sale possible for vintage furniture have been lovely hours indeed. As a fellow small business owner, Christyn is a kindred spirit who understands the occasional need to get away from the computer and go grocery shopping…because it’s just not as fun by yourself!
Q & A with Sinclair Dance Studio
1. What can a couple expect at their first lesson?
To have a comfortable introduction to a dance style of their choice with personal attention.
2. Can you customize dances to a couples song?
Certainly! Any song can be choreographed for a couple and this is one of our most frequent requests.
3. How long do you recommend a couple take lessons?
For as long as they want to dance! I recommend a minimum of four lessons to get a basic grasp of a dance style, but the more the better – especially when prepping to show off your newly acquired skills in front of all your wedding guests, and in a long dress at that! (we do keep several crinoline skirts on hand so you can practice how a dress will feel before “suiting up” for the big day)
4. What dances are best for a “first dance”?
The Rumba and the Waltz lend themselves well to a first dance due to their slower nature. Unless you’re the super adventurous types who want to go all out with a ChaCha in your wedding finery
5. Why did you get into ballroom dancing?
I had always wanted to learn, when I got up the nerve/my husband dragged me to tryouts, I fell in love with every aspect of dance and the rest is history!
6. What is your favorite dance?
The Chacha & the Hustle – so much energy in these dances!
7. Can we hire you to give lessons to couples at our wedding?
I am usually unavailable on the weekends (off shooting weddings…we can blame Deidre for this one) but feel free to contact me with your ideas!
