    Our song is only 2 minutes and 20 seconds to begin with so we'll just dance the full length of the song.

    We are doing the entire song. It comes out to about 3 minutes.

    We're considering shortening our first dance, or at least having our guests join us have a minute or two, so we're not the center of attention the entire time.

    None at all for me. I eliminated it completely. There’s no way I could dance in front of everyone.

    Shorter, we are doing a first "serious" dance for our favorite verse, bridge and 2 chorus and then surprising our guests with a little piece from one of our favorite movies, No not dirty dancing or grease lol Smiley laugh .

    It’s long, we’ll choreograph 8 different music genre and will combine it in a first dance that will be just about 6 minutes of entertainment for our guests 😂

    I would like to say short, and I’m hopping FH doesn’t veto that for me

    We haven't picked a song, so I guess it depends on how long the song is, but I would prefer to dance for the whole song or have the DJ ask other couples to join us after the first maybe 2 minutes.
