The “Dance Revolution”:
Shows like “Dancing With the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance”, plus a variety of dancing-themed movies, has brought formal dancing back into the spotlight of current trends. People enjoy watching happy people dancing and would like to be able to do it themselves. A wedding reception is the perfect opportunity for most to give it a try: a big party with a dance floor doesn’t present itself every day!
Still, while it may be easy to envision yourself gliding effortlessly across the floor, dancing in front of observers makes many people nervous. The key to accomplishing something as important as the first wedding dance with confidence is in finding quality instruction. A few hours with a dance expert who can tell you what to do with awkward arms, misguided feet, or how to hold your partner, can go a long way in removing the fear factor.
Find instruction that emphasizes making your first dance “doable” rather than trying to make you a great dancer. You have the rest of your life to learn how to dance. The dancers on those TV shows make their workouts their full time job for months in advance. Unless you have that kind of time for instruction and practice, as well as money, your expectations must be adjusted.
Learning how to accomplish your first wedding dance is very attainable and enjoyable. Not having a plan can make a 2 minute window of your life feel like a very awkward 2 hours. A little quality instruction goes a long way in helping you navigate the floor, understand when to move and how. When you’re confident that you know “what to do next” you can keep your eyes on your partner rather than the hundreds of eyes watching you.
Are you wondering what to look for in a quality dance instructor? Choose someone who:
• Focuses on the task at hand. That is, your first wedding dance together as a married couple. You aren’t trying to become a professional dancer: you’re trying to make a beautiful memory without embarrassment!
• Is knowledgeable about many styles and traditions. Weddings are as unique as the couples they enjoin. Your teacher should be able to help you accomplish what it is you want to do, whether that is a traditional waltz, a romantic tango, or an ethnic folk dance.
• Can work around your schedule. Engaged couples are busy people incorporating wedding plans into already-full calendars. You may not have a huge window of time to work with and you most likely do not have the weekly commitment the national dance franchises require.
• Can help you coordinate the relative dances, the music choice and track mix, and the logistics of the dance floor.
