3 Tips
to make your Wedding Dance
less awkward

songs for 1st wedding dance as newlyweds

Pick a song with a good beat.

Your first dance song can be fast or slow, country or latin, classic or contemporary.  If you can turn on the music and tap your toe to it, that’s a really good start.  Surprisingly, mid tempo and up tempo songs are easier to dance to than slow songs.

Practice ahead of time.  

Whether you plan to just stand and sway, or you actually want to dance to your first dance wedding song, make time to get together with your “better half” before the wedding day and practice how you want to walk out onto the floor, how you want to dance to the song, what you want to do when the song is over

Don’t dance to the entire song.

Surprised? Many popular songs can go well over four minutes, and it’s really not necessary to dance that long.  The point of the first wedding dance is to celebrate a special moment with your new spouse, get some great pictures and video, then get the party rolling.
