Do Something Different for Your First Dance

By Natalie Beck

The first dance at a wedding has traditionally been a slow dance, usually a waltz or something similar. But what if you and your fiancé aren't the waltz type? What if you want something more fun and energetic? You've probably thought about this quite a bit and are wondering if it would be too odd to do something different. Would it be better to just go ahead and do a waltz and forget about it?

Absolutely not. If you want to do something different for your first dance, then you should. Your family and friends know you, and they love you. They want to see you dance in a style that reflects your love for each other, to a song that you love. Odd would be watching a lively, energentic couple waltzing their way through a song they don't like very much just to get to the rest of the music and have some real fun.

If you come out and do a Cha Cha for your first dance, on the other hand, not only will the whole room cheer, but it will be a first dance that nobody, especially you and your new spouse, will ever forget. You'll have a fantastic time doing it and your friends and family will be absolutely entranced.

Nearly any style of dance can be customized to fit into your wedding. If you want to do a classic dance, a Foxtrot or Quickstep can be adjusted so that your dress doesn't get in the way. If you want to perform a dance that's more passionate, but aren't sure if it's appropriate for your wedding, that's nothing to worry about. Even a passionate dance such as a Tango or a Rumba can be toned down a bit if you like.

When you and your fiancé come in for your wedding dance lessons, remember that this dance is being customized just for you. If there is a step you are having difficulty with, we can work on it until you've got it or we can change things a bit to make it easier. If there is something that you don't like or aren't comfortable with in the original choreography, that can be modified as well.

If you would like to do a different style of dance for your wedding dance, but want your family to join you as well, consider choosing two songs for your first dance. You and your new spouse can perform your first dance on your own during the first song, then the DJ can invite your friends and family to join you on the dance floor for a more traditional dance style when the second song begins.

When you're at your wedding, remember that more than anything your family and friends are there to celebrate with you. They want to see you and your new spouse enjoy yourselves and have a wonderful time on your special day. Nothing could be more lovely and more memorable than sharing a bit of your hearts with the people you love by performing a dance that truly reflects the love you feel for each other.

Learning to dance is the same as any new skill. It takes patience and practice. Unlike other skills though, dance lessons are fun at every stage. Yes, it becomes more fun the better you get, but all beginners in my lessons have fun right away.

So if you are having fun right away, imagine how much fun you have when you can move your body confidently on the dance floor. Dancing really is a great way to get fit, meet people, improve your confidence and have fun. For private or wedding dance lessons visit my site: http://www.dancevogue.com.au/

 

The 411 of Proper Wedding Dance Etiquette

By Amy Spade

Although the ‘old’ days had a very basic structure to the wedding schedule of events, times have changed and those rules don’t always apply anymore. So, when it comes to who dances with whom, there are multiple answers.

Lining up the dance partners

It should go without saying that the bride and the groom are the first to dance. This makes for a beautiful photograph for everyone that brought a camera. The next dance can include the wedding party dancing with their respective partners as well as the new couple.

The parent dances come next. The bride will dance with her father and the groom will dance with his mother. Then the bride will dance with her new father-in-law and the groom can dance with his new mother-in-law. In the case of extended families, you can switch up so that each half of the couple has danced with all of the step parents as well.

In the case of one of the couple having a deceased parent, another relative can step in and there should be some sort of announcement as to why this is happening. This is a great way to honor those that has passed while still celebrating the moment.

After these traditional dances, there may be opportunities for dances with other special people in everyone’s life. A fair warning though, it can be a tad boring for guests to watch dance after dance. You can announce for everyone to start dancing after the really important ones are done.

A lot of deejays have ideas for dances for people to participate in. These can start with how long people have been married and then slowly drop off until the longest marriage is left on the dance floor.

There are also dollar dances where the bride and groom will dance with others for money for their wedding.
When you’re not slow dancing

Although the slow and sentimental dances are wonderful, the younger set (usually the wedding party) may also like some faster dancing. To make this special too, the bride and the groom may want to have certain songs played for each member of the wedding party. These can be something nostalgic or something fun for everyone to dance to.

Dancing at a wedding is a time that you shouldn’t be worrying about what you look like; it’s just the time to let loose after all the formality and have a lot of fun.
