This dance should be uplifting and easy enough so that you won\u2019t be worried about forgetting the steps! Going to a professional instructor to help you allows them to gauge your level of experience in dance as well as to flatter you in reflection to that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Second: Decide Whether to be Serious or Silly!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More serious wedding dances can have more intricate and beautiful choreography. These will typically take professional coaching, and some practice before the performance. Traditionally, waltz is the go-to!<\/li>\n<li>Sillier dances include the typical \u201cstart-serious-then-bust-out-the-sunglasses\u201d type of dances. If this fits you more, it\u2019s totally okay! Some people feel that they\u2019re never that serious- so why be serious at their wedding? Your wedding is YOUR day. These dances tend to have very different choreography, and tend to be funnier rather than sentimental.<\/li>\n<li>Reflect on who you are as a couple- this dance can be whatever you want it to be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about how you can perfect the wedding dance that fits you, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/st-petersburg-pasadena\/wedding-programs\/\">our page on wedding dances<\/a> or call the studio (727-493-5147) to book a lesson!
