Combining styles

A little variety, for example, changing the rhythm throughout the sound of the composition, will enliven the wedding dance. So, starting a dance with slow movements, you can finish it with more rhythmic ones.

The American wedding dance format is very effective in this regard (sometimes called the “wedding dance of the 21st century”), when the romantic, gentle melody is abruptly interrupted, giving way to a completely unexpected track , to which the newlyweds frolic to their hearts’ content. You can try the opposite option, demonstrating incendiary movements at the very beginning, and moving on to exciting and touching ones towards the end.

Which style should you choose?

Traditionally, the first dance of newlyweds is slow, so when choosing a performance style, they usually focus on this characteristic. However, styles that are completely different in rhythm and temperament, including modern ones, are suitable for a wedding dance.

1. The most popular is the waltz . Beautiful, airy and easy enough to learn, it attracts many couples.
2. cheerful foxtrot with many steps and circles looks no less impressive.
3. Brave newlyweds can show their true feelings and hot passion in tango .
4. Do you like live rhythms of the 30-50s of the last century? Pay attention to the swing , which includes the popular boogie-woogie, jive, and Lindy hop . This will definitely amaze your guests!
5. Rumba – slow and very sensual, rumba will perfectly allow you to express your emotions. Ideal for wedding staging.
6. The fiery Latin American rhythms of salsa will enliven traditional ideas about the first wedding dance.
7. Bachata - originally from the Dominican Republic, intimate, passionate and, at the same time, very romantic. The frankness of the movements is the complete opposite of the classic waltz of newlyweds. Suitable for loving people who are not shy about expressing their feelings.

Ideas from films

Ideas for a wedding dance with beautiful lifts and movements can be borrowed from famous films. Many people remember the exciting performance from Dirty Dancing It would be very original to repeat this at a wedding celebration. Examples of beautiful and passionate tangos are presented in the films: “Scent of a Woman”, “Let’s Dance”, “Keep the Rhythm” and others.

A choreographer will help you create your own unique dance. If you want your performance to be different from the performances of other couples, then by contacting a professional, you can choose a dance style specifically for your couple, their character and temperament.

Rehearsal Tips

A well-structured rehearsal schedule will help achieve the desired result. Here are some useful recommendations on how future spouses can correctly distribute their energy and time to prepare a luxurious wedding dance:

1. The intervals between rehearsals should not be more than 3 days. Class time is about 1.5-2 hours. Otherwise, the learned movements will quickly be forgotten and you will have to start all over again. By strictly following this rule, you can avoid negative emotions due to constant marking in one place.
2. If lovers have dancing skills, they can start rehearsing about 2 weeks before the planned wedding date. If there is no experience of this kind at all, then rehearsals are given from 1 to 2 months. In such a long period of time, it is quite possible to learn all the lifts of a passionate tango.
3. It is better for both partners to rehearse in clothes that are close in cut and style to wedding dresses. Firstly, such a trick will help you get used to a rather narrow or, conversely, voluminous outfit and feel comfortable when performing a dance at a celebration. Secondly, if the bride’s dress has a long train, get used to holding it in your hands so that it does not interfere during the musical number.
4. There are a huge number of videos on the Internet with detailed and extremely clear training master classes dedicated specifically to staging the first wedding dance at home. Thanks to this, you save money on the services of a professional choreographer and you can independently, at any convenient time, learn the rhythmic movements of the chosen dance.
5. An excellent result in working on mistakes is obtained by analyzing the video of each rehearsal. At the beginning of the next lesson, reviewing the previous workout helps to identify all the shortcomings and mistakes. Thanks to this, every movement, every step is honed to an ideal, masterful execution.
6. Don't make your speech too long. For the first wedding dance of the newlyweds, 2-3 minutes is enough. A longer musical number can cause dizziness, increased sweating and shortness of breath, which is not comme il faut when you are under close attention and need to look 100%, and not look like a lathered horse.

The easiest thing would be to hire a choreographer and, under his strict guidance, learn to gracefully spin to the sounds of a gentle wedding waltz or fiery dance a sensual samba.

But achieving a goal on your own, without the help of others, can bring lovers closer together, while simultaneously checking how ready they are for the hardships and problems that await them in family life.
Are you ready for such tests in order to please yourself and your loved ones with a sparkling or, conversely, sensual performance of the first wedding dance? Where is it more comfortable to rehearse – at home or in a dance studio? What dance would be easiest for a young couple who has no choreography skills to prepare?

In this video you can see an option to stage a wedding dance yourself:

A wedding day is always exciting, filled with joyful emotions and vivid impressions. Therefore, it is not at all surprising if, during the wedding dance, one of the newlyweds may make a mistake by forgetting the sequence of movements. In this case, the main thing is not to stop and continue dancing, surrendering to the power of the music and following your partner. Looking into the happy eyes opposite, you can feel the wings behind your back and get incredible pleasure, enjoying every moment of life.
