What's popular these days
Nowadays, the first wedding dance is traditionally the highlight of the evening. Indeed, if previously newlyweds improvised to a romantic melody, shifting from foot to foot, now a dynamic version is gaining momentum, the main part of which is ballroom dance.
Tango
Year after year, tango holds the lead in the ranking of wedding dances for young people. This style skillfully combines pride and weakness, passion and restraint between partners.
“There are no mistakes in tango. It's like life - very simple. That's why everyone loves tango. If you make a mistake or get confused, you continue to dance...,” as Al Pacino said in the film “Scent of a Woman.”

Not every dance can be performed in a magnificent outfit. In case of a hopeless situation, you can always change clothes, which is much easier than changing your mind about the dance again. Valentin Maisky
Rumba
The vibrant elements of rumba demonstrate the passion between people in love through strong body movements accompanied by strong Spanish music. Dancers must be passionate about each other, forget about embarrassment in front of the public and open their abilities and love to everyone.
Bachata
Bachata is another example of passionate Latin American dance. Since it was in this style that people found a way to express themselves and express their emotions, bachata was forbidden for some time.
But it is impossible to impose a ban on love, which is why this dance still amazes us with the sexuality of its movements and the grace of the body. Choosing a bachata for the first dance at a wedding is quite a bold move.
Foxtrot
A more modest option for a couple's first wedding dance is the foxtrot. The smoothness of the steps flows with the maneuverability of transitions, and elegant soft movements create a romantic mood between partners. This style is distinguished by its ease of execution and is recommended for a wonderful opening dance evening at a wedding.
Charleston
The shocking pace of the Charleston will help you stretch your body. This style is devoid of tragedy, vulgarity or excessive tenderness; it is filled with a nuclear charge of energy and swirled with a jazz melody. The playful and slightly playful Charleston performed by the young people will give the evening a completely new shade of mood.
Hip-hop
And if a couple of newlyweds want to surprise the guests at the end, then you can imagine a hip-hop composition on this score. Quite recently, a trend has emerged among couples, instead of “slow”, to “rock” the hall with their unusual dance to rapper accompaniment.
Mixed styles
If the musical tastes and dancing abilities of the bride and groom do not coincide, then mixed dance styles are presented in this case. It can be a derskiy vogue combined with street dance, or even a belly dance from the bride for the groom performing modern.
Interesting! Learn about the features of the mother and groom dance, as well as how you can make the number more spectacular.
Waltz
The waltz remains a classic of the genre. Don't think that this is a primitive choice. The waltz is an elegant way to demonstrate discipline and beauty in minimalism. This simple dance makes the couple circle around the hall with ease, and if love is not visible to someone due to the restraint of the style, then it can definitely be read in the eyes of the partners.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that, for one reason or another, the young people did not attend choreography lessons and, instead of professional dancing, preferred to pour out their feelings in hugs to a touching slow melody. Dance is a feeling, and everyone has their own approach to expressing it.

We come up with it ourselves
There are only a few weeks left until the big day: a dress from a fashion catalog has already eclipsed all the outfits in the closet, the party organizer takes into account all the wishes for decorating the hall, and the florist is planning a bride’s bouquet of her favorite flowers. It's time to think about choosing a young dance number. This will determine which song to choose for the wedding dance.
First of all, it’s worth starting from the taste qualities and capabilities of each partner. So, if a guy is great at breakdancing, it doesn’t mean that he will be just as good at uninhibited rumba. Or the bride and groom, each over fifty, may not be able to handle the moving Charleston.
What song to choose for the first wedding dance? Taking into account the interests of men and women equally, the question of choosing a song and dance number still depends more on the bride.
Since the groom is traditionally dressed in trousers, this can hardly interfere with his performance of steps, which cannot be said about the bride’s outfit. Lush floor-length dresses are perfect for slow dancing and waltzing, while cocktail dresses will look good when performing tango. An airy dress no lower than the knee will allow you to freely dance both the cha-cha-cha and the foxtrot.
Another important aspect when searching for which song to choose for a wedding dance at a wedding is the style of the holiday itself. Folk style is always imbued with the national spirit, and if this is a purely Russian holiday, get ready to dance until you drop. Oriental themes require exotic dance, and if the wedding is in retro style, then you can’t do without the Charleston.
Attention! At the rehearsal, it is best to wear a suit that closely resembles a wedding dress. This way you won’t feel a dramatic difference at the celebration itself and won’t be confused by constrained movements.

Maestro, pick a song!
Having decided on the dance, it is important to choose a song for the wedding dance or choose a suitable musical composition for it.
Musical accompaniment can be either live sound or recording. This will also determine which song to choose for the newlyweds' first dance. This is one of the indicators for choosing a song, since at a wedding there can be either a classical ensemble performing exclusively works by Schubert, or a modern jazz band. They cannot “give up” their repertoire, keep this fact in mind.
When deciding which song to choose for the newlyweds’ first dance, do not forget that besides you there are also guests. Don't scare them off with songs with too explicit lyrics or unbearable sound of drums and bass guitars, otherwise no one will appreciate your efforts.
Below are several different and popular options for wedding dance music.
- Muslim Magomayev's song “Wedding” is a very simple and suitable option for a colorful live folk dance.
- Such touching songs as Pianoboy “Kokhannya”, Okean Elzy “Taka, yak ti”, HIM “Close To the Flame”, Sting “Shape Of My Heart” are perfect for performing a gentle and slow dance.
- Kingdome Come “What Love Can Be” is a frank declaration of love, based on which the dance can turn out to be quite erotic. In addition, a mixed style of both slow and dynamic dance is suitable for this rock composition.
- Classic lovers should be familiar with Yeong Wook Jo's "Breathless" and Johann Strauss' "Viennese Waltz." The sensuality and depth of the melodies are chilling; It’s impossible to resist the sounds of a cello when the music makes you spin in a waltz.
- The composition “Green Eyes” by Okean Elzy and “To You, My Bride” by the Antitela group is an excellent rocker option when choosing musical accompaniment at a wedding. In this case, the first dance of the newlyweds will be bright, rhythmic and playful. These tracks will allow you to create a modern or quickstep dance.
- A version of a crazy, but original and fun dance at a wedding cannot be considered without “The Bride” performed by Mumiy Troll or “The Bride” by Glukoza. Dance in this case requires special acting from partners.
- Yegor Creed conquered all the girls with his track called “Bride”. It is not surprising that young couples at weddings choose this optimistic composition for live dancing.
- Driven young people can put together an excellent jazz dance to the song of the group “Dissatisfied Tigers” “Wedding Rock and Roll”.
- For bachata, options are considered: Monchy Y Alexandra “No Es Una Novela” and Chiki Chaka Girls “Saboreando”.
- Gotan Project “Santa María Carlos” is suitable for performing tango, although we cannot forget about “Por Una Cabeza” by Carlos Gardel.
- Juan Camus “Now that the loves gone” is simply chosen for a magnificent rumba.
- What is Frank Sinatra telling us in the song “New York” or what does Glee Cast want from us in “Baby, its cold outside”? Just dance a charming foxtrot!
- The songs Clarence Williams' Washboard Five “Take Your Black Bottom Outside” and McKinney's Cotton Pickers “It's Tight Like That” are imbued with the atmosphere of Chicago, and listening to them makes you want to dance a passionate Charleston.
And what song to choose for the first dance of the newlyweds? In addition to the above list, it is symbolic to use a song with which the warmest memories from your relationship are associated, such as the most romantic evening, first kiss, etc.
