So! Your wedding day is coming up, and you are now realizing that you have to DANCE! In front of CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY! AAHHHHHH! Take a deep breath. You\u2019ll get through this. To help assuage the fears and concerns of brides and grooms to-be who don\u2019t have any dance experience or knowledge, we\u2019ve compiled some questions that you might be too embarrassed to ask, and some important information that you might not have considered!<\/p>\n

Is there a \u201ccorrect\u201d type of first dance?<\/h3>\n

While there is a historically identifiable\u00a0traditional style<\/a>\u00a0for the \u201cfirst dance\u201d in a wedding, the truth is that you can do whatever you want! A wedding is your day, and you should fill it with rituals and activities that are meaningful to you. If you are looking for a classically beautiful and romantic dance, go for it! If you and your future spouse would rather cut a rug to the Macarena, do it!<\/p>\n

But how do I look good during my first dance?<\/h3>\n

Of course, step one is to get and wear formalwear that isn\u2019t too tight or limiting of your movement, especially around your legs. Even with all the practice and instruction in the world, tight pants or a restrictive dress will make any dance a lot more challenging. As far as the dancing itself, this is the part where good old fashioned practice and hard work will make the grade! Whether you decide to invent your own dance or get instruction and professional choreography from Fred Astaire Dance Studios, it\u2019s important to practice your dance for at least a few weeks ahead of the wedding! Repetition and practice is the ONLY way to perfect a dance, no matter how simple or complex the dance is.<\/p>\n
