Choosing The Perfect Music
For Your Wedding Dance
Why Your Wedding Dance is Important
Your wedding dance is extremely important because this will be the very
first dance you will dance after you have been married. This is a
romantic dance that allows you to be in the arms of the one you love,
and no doubt other couples all around the room will be gazing on,
remembering how they felt when they danced their first dance. While this
dance is a beautifully romantic dance between you and your spouse, you
must remember that a roomful of people are going to be watching, and you
want the dance to look great as well, so you want to be sure to pick the
right music, the perfect dance, and you want to look stunning out there
on the dance floor.
Types of Dances to Consider
When you are planning for your wedding dance, you will want to take the
time to decide what kind of dance you want to dance for your first
dance. There are a variety of choices to consider that will be easy for
you to learn and dance together. If you are looking for a very simple
dance, you may want to just dance a simple slow dance at your wedding,
but there are other choices as well that are quite easy, including the
Waltz, the Foxtrot, and even Swing dance. The Waltz is a great choice
for a first dance, since it has very simple, smooth steps that will have
you sliding across the dance floor. The Foxtrot is another great choice
that is a bit more peppy, and for an even faster dance, you may want to
consider dancing a Swing dance that will have your guests excited to
join in.
Choosing the Perfect Song to Dance To
Not only will you want to pick out the perfect dance style, but you will
also want to pick out the perfect song for your first dance as well. The
song you pick will probably depend on what style of dancing you are
considering, or you may want to base your dance choice on the song you
pick. Make sure that you pick a song that is meaningful to you and your
spouse. Many people choose a song that has been “their song” throughout
their relationship. Whether the song is romantic, lively, or soulful,
make sure that it is one that will have you smiling into each other’s
eyes throughout the entire dance.
How Long Should the First Dance Be?
Technically your first dance can be as long or as short as you want it
to be, but you may want to have your guests join in after a few minutes.
As a general rule, the bride and groom spend a couple minutes dancing by
themselves, and then the best man and maid of honor join them on the
floor, signifying that the rest of the guests can begin dancing as well.
Make sure that your best man and anyone else who will be participating
in this dance knows what is going on so it will all go smoothly.
Preparing for Your First Dance
Since the first dance is so important, you will no doubt want to take
some measures to prepare for your first dance as husband and wife. No
one wants to be out on the dance floor looking like a fool, so it is
important that you start preparing well ahead of time for your special
dance. One thing that you may want to do is to get private dance
lessons. While they can be quite expensive, you can get lessons that
will teach you the type of dance you are going to do at your wedding so
you look wonderful on the dance floor. If private lessons seem a bit too
expensive for you, another great option to consider is instructional
dance videos. No matter what kind of dance you plan on doing at your
wedding, you can find great helpful videos that will help you learn the
perfect moves for your big day, and you may even want to use these
videos in conjunction with private lessons as well. Even if you think
that you are a hopeless cause, more than likely instructional dance
videos can help you look great out on the dance floor.
Spice it Up - Do Something Different
If you are a bit more advanced as a dancer, or you just want to spice up
the first dance tradition, you may want to consider doing things a bit
different. Some more daring and exciting dances to do are the Tango and
the Salsa. While these are not usually used for the first dance, they
are great dances that are hot, steamy, and sensual if you want to really
stand out on the dance floor. If you do decide to go with something a
bit more spicy and different, you can also find great instructional
videos that will help you with these dances as well.
