About Your First Dance By Bud Walters
Bud Walters
I have specialized in personalizing wedding dances for 45 years and teaching dance for 70 years. Planning a wedding is often time-consuming and stressful ... I want you to take time for yourself and have fun learning your spotlight dance with your fiancé or parents!
You can learn a complete dance with turns and dips for $85 per couple for one full hour of private dance lessons. Most couples take 3 one-hour lessons for a completed dance. No contracts and striving for success in just three lessons is what makes me a little different from other studios. Pay as you take each lesson!
In three words: Flexible, Fun, Supportive

We love Bud!
Best decision we ever made to take lessons with Bud for our first dance! We were both beginners and very nervous, but after three sessions with Bud, we are feeling confident and ready to dance the night away. He doesn’t just teach you a routine, but rather a combination of moves that look great and can be mixed up and changed around to work with any song. It helps that he’s a joy to be around, because he loves what he does. We had so much fun and miss him already.
Bud Walters•May 28, 2026Hello Emma and Ryan, Nervous jitters begone. You are now able to enjoy the joy of your first dance. The more you practice the more confidence you will have. With the dance tools I gave you you can now be innovative. Have fun! I know your first dance will be a hit. Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding plans. Good luck on your new journey.

Bud is the best
At first, we were hesitant about taking dance lessons for our first dance, however, working with Bud was excellent! Cole and I looked forward to coming back to see him after each lesson. Taught us so much and we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to be taught our dance from Bud. Looking forward to showing off our first dance at our wedding 6-6-26! Love you Bud!!

Our first dance lessons with Bud Walters turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, Bud was clear and upfront about what to expect, which helped us feel prepared and at ease. He has a gift for making you feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor, even if you've never danced before. We picked up the steps quickly because he teaches efficiently without making it feel rushed or overwhelming. The experience was so enjoyable that we're already planning to take more lessons with him just for fun. We'd highly recommend Bud to any couple wanting to nail their first dance.
Bud Walters•Jun 4, 2026Hi Jack, Thanks for the wonderful review. You make me sound so good I want to take lessons from me. The thing I love most about teaching is to experience the progress the couple makes through the three lessons. Your lessons MUST be fun! The comfortable and confident feeling only comes from practice. It promotes continuity, going from one step to another with ease. No choreography just strong leading and following techniques. Congratulations on a job well done.

Mother Son Dance
We booked Your First Dance By Bud Walters for our wedding and couldn't have made a better choice. Bud's communication was timely and clear from start to finish, making the whole process easy and stress-free. What really stood out was how he made our lessons fun while teaching us so much. One of the best parts was getting to bond with my son during the sessions; those moments together meant the world to me. Bud's professionalism and exceptional teaching style made our first dance feel special and confident. We're so grateful for everything he did to make our day perfect.
Bud Walters•May 21, 2026Hello sally, So happy ytou gave me a chance to work with you and your son. I hope you keep practicing. I was also grateful to give your son and his fiance some helpful tips on their first dance. Thanks for the great review.
