First Dance Wedding Songs
First Dance Songs
Your first dance as man and wife is often an overlooked part of the planning process for your wedding, however this is your moment to express your love for each other so it is important that you choose a song and a dance that reflects you both as a couple. This could be a song that was playing when you first met or simply a song that has grown to become your own.
If dancing is not your thing then don’t be embarrassed to simply hold your partner on the dance floor and slow dance. Some people love the idea of making their first dance a real event in itself and choose to learn a new dance or learn a specially choreographed routine.
Tips on Choosing your Dance
You can opt to pick a song and then choose a dance to go with it, or choose a dance style and then find a suitable song. It is worth bearing in mind that some dance routines can be quite challenging and may take a while to learn, so make sure to factor in your dancing abilities as well as sufficient time.
If you’re going to go for something challenging then you may need to take lessons and find a dance coach to help you. It is vital that you remember that the dance you choose should reflect you as a couple so pick something that suits your style. If you do decide to take lessons then finding a local dance teacher or school that can help you should not be difficult. Many studios offer packages specifically for weddings as this is becoming such a trend, so this could be worth enquiring about. You can then discuss the song and style of dance you would like with your dance teacher who can advise you on how to get the best out of your first dance.
Include Something Different
Some couples choose to start their first dance as a traditional romantic slow dance but then turn this into a choreographed dance routine to surprise their friends and family. You could choose a well known dance such as the one to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ or one from a popular musical such as ‘Grease’. These bigger numbers can even include other members of the wedding party and can really bring the house down.
Whatever you decide to choose, make sure that it is something you feel comfortable doing and above all, have fun!
