Traditionally your first wedding dance symbolises your entrance into the world as a couple. It is supposed to reflect your ‘couple style' and show all your guests how you wish to be perceived. Choosing what to do for your first wedding dance can be really easy for some couples. They might already have their ‘couple song' and the song dictates the dance style. Others will have a long held vision of what they want their dance to include - perhaps it incorporates other members of the bridal party or makes the guests laugh. For some couples however, choosing what to do for the first dance is another task on the ever increasing wedding ‘to do' list. They will find themselves scouring Google for ‘favourite first dance songs', and going on You Tube to look at inspirational videos of frolicking brides. Trying to decide on a song choice and style can cause a lot of stress and worry. You know you have to do something, but perhaps the thought of standing in front of all your guests and showing you ‘couple style' fills you with fear. One tip for How to Choose a First Dance is to go back to the tradition and ask yourself how you want to enter the world as a couple. Do you see yourselves as elegant? Reserved? Funny? Playful? Once you have decided on this, you can have a think about songs that fit with this style. Perhaps the lyrics of a love song describe your love for each other or your relationship to date, or maybe the tempo of a track reflects the atmosphere of how you live your life together. Another tip would be to recruit some help for wedding dance lessons. Once you have narrowed your song choice down to a few favourites, booking a first dance lesson with a dance instructor who can help make the final decision is crucial. The dance instructor will chat to you about your couple style and your vision for how you'd like to ‘enter the world'. They will then listen to the short list of songs and can help you to pick an appropriate tune. Some songs may lend themselves to routines better than others, and your instructor can help you to see this. Over a few first dance lessons you will work with the choreographer to create the perfect routine for you both. It will be a routine that showcases your style and throws you into married life in the form suitable to you both.
