Choreographed First Dance

Lauren, on March 10, 2022 at 3:21 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 4
My FH and I have decided on taking some dance lessons to create a choreographed dance at our wedding. He says that he is more nervous about the first dance portion of the day vs actually getting married. I’m hoping that we practice enough before the big day because we want it to look good for our guests, and that they enjoy what the final product is. Of course, we’re enjoying learning how to dance differently than we ever have before (I have more experience in dance, but ballroom dancing is a whole new playing field). Anyone else doing a choreographed dance for their wedding?

    H was the same way - he was much more concerned about all eyes on us for our first dance than our ceremony. We took a couple short lessons from a huge dance studio chain, loosely choreographed our dance (very simple moves, nothing crazy), and practiced it the days leading up to the wedding. We still slipped up a couple of times but he was so much more relaxed and confident! He enjoyed it so much even said we could continue taking lessons as a joint hobby Smiley smile

    We're planning on doing a choreographed first dance in addition to taking ongoing ballroom lessons. I started ballroom dancing when I was only nine years old, and it's been a big part of my life, so the wedding is the perfect excuse for my fiancé to learn!

    I definitely want to do this too! I always thought choreographed dances looked so elegant, and I'm sure pictures turn out great! FH is a really fun dancer to faster songs, but we could use some help with ballroom dancing.

    We're planning on a choreographed first dance. Otherwise I'd feel so awkward in front of everybody just swaying. I think it's important to note that people won't care if you mess up the choreography, and that's if they even notice.
