The First Dance
It is the emotional highlight of the wedding
celebration: The first dance of the newlyweds. Sooner or later, everyone wants to learn to
dance. Since all eyes will be on you when you dance the first dance with your new spouse,
why not learn in time for your wedding! Dancing can be fun if you have the right teacher
plus it's a great stress reliever during the hectic weeks before the big day. And great
exercise too! But more than these, it can develop the personal self confidence and
carriage you'll appreciate on your wedding day and for the rest of your life. Dancing will
give you a greater appreciation of music. You'll enjoy your evenings out more because
you'll be able to dance to nearly every song!
Some studios offer choreography to your
first and last songs. Others offer private, group and wedding party sessions. Make sure
you find out exactly what you're getting and that you're getting what you want, not what
the studio wants to sell you.
Perhaps the most important attribute of good
dancing is smoothness. It is NOT how many steps that you (sort of) know! Smoothness adds
grace and elegance – very appropriate qualities when you consider the Bride and
Groom's attire.
Your lessons should take your physical self
into account. It is important that you feel comfortable doing the dance. Not all steps
look good performed by every person. Be sure that the studio understands your purpose in
learning to dance and your timeframe. If the program isn't progressing to your
satisfaction, let them know. Of course, practice makes perfect so practice, practice,
practice.
The first dance is one of the most
romantic moments of your wedding reception, and also the start of your evening
celebrations. Perhaps you already have a song that's "your song" and will make a
perfect first dance track.
