Today many couples are signing up for dance lessons to help
them prepare for their first dance as husband and wife. Before even deciding
what song you want for that special moment as you begin your life together, you
need to decide which type of dance will best represent the two of you on your
wedding day.
With popular shows such as Dancing with the Stars many
couples seek professional assistance to plan their first dance together as Mr.
and Mrs. in order to embrace center stage at their wedding reception. The first
dance is an unforgettable moment between husband and wife that is shared with
their closest friends and family.
Every wedding is unique and so should be your first
dance, it is a moment where the bride and groom can slow down and just focus on
themselves as they begin a new chapter in their lives. It's just the two of you
sharing this special moment, gazing into each other's eyes, while swaying on
the dance floor.
Cynthia, who just got married in September 2016, had this
to say about her experiences learning the Waltz; "My husband and I took dance
lessons for the first time for our wedding and it was indeed an exceptional
experience ..... lt was like a breath of fresh air away from all the wedding
planning every time we went dancing."
The point of dance lessons is to help you relax and enjoy
your first dance. It's also a way to alleviate tension for couples and to make
them calm and confident with their first dance. It is a great way to enjoy time
together leading up to the wedding, and it is a skill that will last a
lifetime. Learning to dance is easier and more fun than people realize, even
for some of those reluctant grooms.
Danny, a newlywed shared his story: "My fiancé
mentioned dance lessons to me to prepare for our wedding, and even though I had
no interest I am glad I said yes! I didn't think I could dance but turns out
that I am not half bad! I actually looked forward to our lessons and will be
coming back to learn other styles of dance."
When it comes time to choose a dance style for your first
dance as husband and wife, it is important to pick something that showcases
your personality as a couple. Whether you want to stick with the traditional or
spice things up, remember that this will set the tone for your reception.
For some couples it's not easy to choose that special
song since there are many choices. It's a good idea to select a song during your
lessons, often, just feeling yourself dancing to the music can make the choice
for you. For those more adventurous couples, sometimes one choice is not enough
or even one style of dance, in such cases a medley (a combination dance) is
best. A popular choice is starting with a slow traditional song and ending the
first dance with something fast paced and fun.
