Reality Check - First dance

Time is flying by extremely fast. I could have sworn that I looked at my wedding ticker yesterday and it said I had 120 days, now today, only 116 days. Time goes by a lot faster than we think. We only have three months left so I started looking into dance lessons. A good many of them are expensive! 3 one hour lessons for $500? I don't think so. I was reading a post some time ago where someone had suggested not telling certain vendors what their products will be used for - such as the reception site, catering, cake - though you can only get away with it so far on the cake, - renting limos and other items, etc. because companies tend to tack on extra money when they hear the word "wedding." This also seems to be the case when it comes to dance classes. Sometimes it's possible to get private lessons for less money if they don't know that it's for wedding purposes. Say you and FH want to learn the Viennese waltz for your wedding dance and don't necessarily feel the need to have a choreographed dance. Take a class that is specifically centered around that waltz and you'll likely save yourself some money.
