Remember the first time you shared a dance with your fiancé? Maybe it was on your first date, or a dance shared between the two of you privately. Whatever the case may be, there seems to be a universal understanding that a dance can be breathtakingly special. You can make your first dance strictly romantic with the lighting and the music. You may have a special song that’s ‘yours’, written just for you by a friend, or with a lyric that feels so right. But that’s not the only way a dance can be special.
If you’ve ever watched “Dancing With The Stars” you know the feeling of wanting to just get up and dance. Well, you might want to put those dancing shoes on in a big way and consider doing an amazing choreographed dance for your first dance. Delight each other and your guests. They’ll feel like they’re watching Dancing With The Stars, only You’re the stars. Sometimes, couples invite everyone to dance with them after their ‘routine’ is over. Everyone gets to be part of the magic.

If you plan to make a special wedding dance, one thing is for certain: you have to practice! And if you don’t want to (or are unable) spent once or twice a week dance lessons, then this will never happen! I’ve seen many special wedding dances. But unfortunately so far no one ever did the “Dirty Dancing” final dance scene! It really takes a lot of work and talent!
