Question 1

Is this event really free? What's the catch?

Accepted Answer

Completely free. No ticket price, no "free with purchase," no pressure. We want you to walk in, feel the space, meet the vendors, and leave with clarity. The only thing we ask is that you register so we can hold your spot for the 2 PM first dance lesson — spots for that are limited.

Question 2

Do we have to use your vendors or is there a required vendor list?

Accepted Answer

Zero vendor requirements. The Dance Factory has an open vendor policy — you bring whoever you want. The vendors at the open house are hand-selected Tampa Bay professionals we trust, but you are never locked in. No hidden fees, no forced packages, no surprises on your contract.

Question 3

We've never danced before. Is the first dance lesson really for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Especially for beginners. Jenny has spent years teaching couples who swear they have two left feet. The 2 PM lesson is designed for couples with zero experience — no choreography, no pressure, just the foundation you need to feel confident and connected on your wedding day.

Question 4

What is the venue capacity and can it actually hold a full wedding?

Accepted Answer

The Dance Factory is 6,500 square feet and comfortably accommodates up to 200 guests for a reception. The space features a professional hardwood dance floor, movable mirror walls that can be repositioned to create multiple layout options for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception — all in one venue.

Question 5

We're not ready to book yet. Is it okay to just come and look around?

Accepted Answer

That is exactly what this event is for. No one will follow you around with a clipboard. Come at noon, explore at your own pace, grab a drink, ask questions only if you want to, and stay for the dance lesson at 2 PM. If you fall in love with the space, we will be here to talk.
