Wedding Dance Tips
Make Your Wedding Dance Magical

By Treva Bedinghaus, About.com

If your wedding plans include a reception, don't forget to think about the wedding dance. Your first dance together as husband and wife should be truly magical. If you plan and practice early, you will both be confident and will greatly impress your friends and family. Who knew you two could dance, anyway?

The following tips will help make your wedding dance truly magical.

  • Planning your wedding dance: If you have enough time, sign up for group dance lessons. Learning to dance will add elegance to your special day. Ballroom dancing has gained popularity over the years, so finding a dance class shouldn't be difficult. Starting early will allow plenty of time to gain dance skills as well as confidence.

  • Choosing your wedding dance song: Many couples have a special song. If you don't already have a song in mind, ask your dance instructor or reception DJ for suggestions. Try to limit the dance to about 2 minutes, as any longer will seem like an eternity. The song you choose will help determine the choreography of your dance.
  • Make your wedding dance sparkle: Put forth an effort to practice and perfect your dance and you will dazzle your friends and family. The more you practice, the more at ease you will feel and appear on the dance floor. Try to sign up for dance lessons at least six months in advance of your wedding day. This will allow plenty of time to learn how to dance, perfect the choreography and gain confidence to perform before a crowd.
