Tips For A Flawless First Dance

Your first dance could be a daunting thought - especially if you're known to have two left feet! Follow our top tips and you'll be guaranteed a flawless first dance as a married couple.

Know The Basics

Not everyone has the best dance moves, so we suggest learning the basics - trust us, the basics will leave you looking like a pro! If learning a whole choreographed dance doesn't sound like you or your partner, we suggest investing in one or two dance lessons with a professional who will get you up to speed in no time.

Not only will you have learnt the basics for you own wedding day, but you will also no longer be sitting out on dances at future occasions.

Keep It Simple

Keep your first dance short and simple. There's no need to be over the top, especially if you're both simple, easy going people. There's also no need to dance to an entire song - two to three minutes is the perfect timeframe for your first dance.

Choose Your Song Wisely

Don't just choose your first dance song because it's popular. Choose your first song wisely and make sure that it's something that resonates with you and your partner. Your wedding music should ultimately tell your love story and if your song is meaningful to you as a couple, you'll immediately feel comfortable dancing to it.

Rehearse In Your Shoes

This is especially important if you're wearing heels on your big day. The most important part is to feel comfortable on your wedding day, and we strongly advise that you test out your shoes beforehand. Make sure that you can comfortably walk and dance in them. Alternatively, we're all for changing into flats as the night goes on!

Enjoy The Moment

Lastly and most importantly, be present and enjoy the moment! You've worked so hard on this big day, the most important piece of advice we can give, is to take it all in and focus on your partner. No one is going to remember if you've made a small mistake - if anything, you'll have another highlighted memory to look back on.
