FH Won't Dance

My FH refuses to dance. I've tried to buy him lessons, but he walks out after 15 minutes. Both of our families really want the opportunity to see us have a first dance to the point that my FMIL was getting emotional when I said that it probably won't happen. I also love to dance, but he won't even be willing to do the awkward sideways shuffle for our first dance. Are there any alternatives that we can look into so we can still have that special moment for us and our families, but won't require him to get a groove on?

I sort of understand because I have a LOT of anxiety about our first dance, having all eyes on me. I think having him just do the prom sway for the first 30 seconds of the song, then having the DJ ask everyone to join you, would be a manageable compromise.

We did a parent dance: me with dad and DH with his mom. We picked a really short song, so that we were able to get pictures and then it was over

This is the man you love that you're going to marry. The best thing you can do for him is accept this minor quirk, flip his mom the bird, and just skip the dance/show of skills. I suspect he will thank you forever if you let this go and take his side against his mom.
