People who Don’t dance, what did you guys fo for first dance?

Our first dance song was Better Together by Luke Combs. I walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of Can’t Help Falling In Love With You by The Piano Guys. We aren’t dancers so we did the high school prom rock back and forth in circles thing, it was fine.

I don’t dance at all but we swayed to Perfect by Ed Sheeran. Not the whole song but maybe 2 minutes. We looked at each other and smiled and kissed. I didn’t think it was that serious but so many guests were crying. It was a sweet moment and worth it even though I was scared.

We did a choreographed dance to the song “Latch”. We did a custom mix of it (created by our DJ) which started off with the slower version by Sam Smith and then halfway through transitioned to the faster version with Disclosure.


If you guys have the time— i suggest taking a dance class even for just a simple Waltz. Just so you feel comfortable dancing and can use the skills you pick up for open dance floor with your guests and future weddings/events that will have dancing. Plus, it’s a fun activity to do with your fiancé.

DH claims to hate to dance, but I love to dance. Our DJ cut our song down to 2 minutes, DH picked the song (so he'd like it), and I made us practice a little the day before (I had been trying to get him to practice for longer, but ... anyway).

We mostly swayed, I had him twirl me once or twice, and we kind of sang to each other with the music?

That said, if you don't want to dance - don't!

Like you, we don’t dance, so we’re simply not doing a “first dance.” It would literally be our first dance together, Lol, make us uncomfortable, and feel very inauthentic.

I love to dance, but DH feels awkward even just swaying with me in our room, alone. I really wish we could just sway to our song. Just sway, nothing else. He just can’t enjoy music at all...

Most people just sway to the music. Nothing wrong with that.

I dance, he does not. So we will not be doing a dance. Unfortunately. However, the first song in our Playlist is our song (ill be by Edwin mccain) and the rest are just songs we've had requested and songs we like. Dancing is optional. We are also doing a tiny wedding (less than 20 people i think. I haven't really added up the numbers)

My FH and I don't dance. We've tried slow dancing when we're alone and he starts giggling and I hate attention being on me and feel majorly awkward. But that being said, we're still having a first dance because I do want those sweet pictures. Before covid hit, my FH had actually bought us a Groupon for dance lessons (sadly, things shut down before we could use them!), but I think it would help.

We're still deciding on our first dance song. I want it to be slower so we can do more of just the swaying. We've got a list of about 6 songs (anywhere from "If I Could Fly" by One Direction to "L.O.V.E." by Nat King Cole).

I’ve really only seen couples just swaying close together. I think if I saw a couple do a choreographed routine it would feel awkward and too personal and like a show. Hiring a dance teacher or choreographer for weddings to me is one of the biggest wastes of money.

It's YOUR wedding. Who says you have to have a first dance?? You do whatever you want. ❤️

We took a few dance lessons and we had a blast! We don't really dance either, but my husband was worried about looking awkward in photos so he suggested we take some lessons. We danced to Perfect by Ed Sheeran. Our dance teacher was a professional ballroom dancer, and in all honesty I think he did too much and made things a little too complicated. But we modified the dance to what we were comfortable with and we only danced for maybe 2 minutes. Definitely cut down your song to around 2 minutes -- our instructor said anything longer than that starts getting awkward and feels too long (even in dance competitions!), and he was totally right. Personally, I think swaying to the music is a little too middle school-y. If you can just learn some really basic steps, it looks really put together.

My FH and I are not fancy dancers so we decided to get it choreographed. Our dance teacher is very patient with us and explains until we understand. I would suggest finding a place that can do that for you. It’s a little pricey, but it makes it so much better. Going to class has gave me the confidence and when we practice at the studio me and him, everything else disappears. So no need to be nervous.

You dont have to have a first dance. Or you fake it to you make it sway and dont play the entire song.

My FH and I are such bad dancers but are really excited for our first dance. We don't want to put extra pressure on ourselves so we're just going to sway and enjoy the moment. Sometimes we'll goof off and dance around in our bedroom. I think the most important thing is not to stress and just enjoy that one-on-one moment because the evening will already be so chaotic
