One of the best things about your wedding is that it's your party! You are automatically king and queen of the event so you get the crown and the first dance. It's time to get down. Traditionally, you'll be doing the two step. Basically that means pick a song that you can sway and take two steps to as you stand on the floor. This can be really sweet but really... you can do that any old time. Come on guys, shake your tail feathers! If you have the least ability to dance and you're willing to have some fun, learn to dance one very special number. Hire a choreographer if you need one. Show off your ability to dance. If you've only danced modern dances, you'll find that ballroom dances are truly a blending of the skills of two people. You need to work with your partners strengths and catch the rhythm together. It may take a lot of practice so that you move and look beautiful together. After all, dancing should be beautiful to watch as well as execute. Of all the ballroom dances, the waltz is the favorite for weddings. It is fun and easy to learn. It is also easy to dance in a wedding gown. Classic music choices include the Blue Danube Waltz or the Skater's Waltz. If you want to use more modern music, adaptations have been made of quite a number of songs as well, which may include your favorite love song. Moon River and The Way You Look Tonight are just two of the songs used as alternatives. The foxtrot is another well loved dance for weddings. Couples can move slowly to the strains of Someone to Watch Over Me or more quickly to Cheek to Cheek. This is a more lively dance than the waltz but still has that romantic feel to it. Of course if you really dance well together, don't be shy about it! Why not go for the drama of a tango and heat up the floor. Make it absolutely scorching! Whichever dance you choose, have fun! Allow yourselves to be Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in your very own dance. Practice hard and don't forget to keep the dresses in mind. Get the party started the right way... with you having a blast! |
