Five Important Tips for the Perfect Wedding Dance
1. Don't Stress, Just Enjoy
It's not about winning a dance competition. Maybe it's not everyone's thing to be so much in the spotlight as during the opening dance. Just remember that you're only surrounded by people who mean something to you. Then everything is half as exciting.
2. It Doesn't Have to Be a Wedding Waltz
Are you experienced dancers? There's nothing wrong with surprising your guests with a fiery tango or presenting your skills from the last salsa course. Absolute dance-avoiders? A dance course can become a new shared hobby. A dance teacher will help you with an individual choreography and teach you simple but elegant steps.
3. A Very Special Wedding Dance
Maybe you have that one song that means a lot to you. Try dancing to it as it comes to mind. Do you feel comfortable doing it? Congratulations, then you've already found your song for the wedding dance!
4. Fill the Dance Floor
It's important that the wedding guests are already standing at the dance floor before your wedding dance. A nice idea is to distribute sparklers to the wedding guests, which give your performance a very special atmosphere. Think carefully before the opening dance about who you want to dance with afterwards. Traditionally, the bride's father takes over. If you have a couple of friends who you know like to dance, ask them to join you on the dance floor.
5. Which Song Follows After the Wedding Dance?
The song after your wedding dance must draw people to the dance floor. A real party hit or an atmospheric discofox is worth its weight in gold now. Just coordinate with your DJ. They certainly have many ideas.
