First dance to a fast song? Help! We don't know how to dance!

Kate L. is now Mrs. Moore!, on October 4, 2010 at 11:23 PM Posted in Planning 0 5

Hey everyone...we are having a serious issue! We have the song we are going to do for our first dance ("In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel) and we wouldn't even consider anything else, but the problem is...it's a kind of fast song! Fortunately it has a good, waltzy beat, but I'm just not sure how to dance to it...we don't have enough time for lessons, and we are incredibly uncoordinated. Does anyone have any tips? Help would be much appreciated, I am so nervous about this!!

Here is a link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcgyKo7vbm4 A quick note, we have cut out the bridge ("Now how I remember you..." through "Now you don't even know their name" and all the squeaking). It just goes straight from "above the trees" to "What a beautiful face."

    Kate~Use the waltzy beat, following that will make it easy to dance to as a slow song. Good luck.

    Even if it has a fast guitar strum, you can treat it as a slow dance. Hold your FS tight, look at the cameras and Twirl, twirl, twirl... until the song ends.

    We kind of just danced in a non-choreographed manner to "Circus" by Britney Spears (we segued into that from Kelly Clarkson's "You Found Me"). Do you ever just dance, without doing any steps? That's my preference, honestly, although I know it's not very traditional for a wedding.

    I found your post because my fiance Mike and I are planning to do the same thing - we want to use In the Aeroplane Over the Sea but cut out the bridge. Is there any chance you'd be willing to share the audio file you used?

    I'd also be curious to know how your dance turned out. Smiley smile

    Thanks!!
