Your choice of song will determine the style and set the pace of the dance. Choose a song that reflects your character and your personality.
The first dance should not be a monotonous routine solely prepared to tick a box out of your wedding checklist. Rather, it should be a means to express your love to one another and a way to convey your sincere love and affection to your significant other.
In determining your song of choice for your wedding, you should not be bound by the generic pop versions of your favourite songs, but you should also explore other possibilities such as acoustic versions, slower versions and genre-adapted versions.
Free online tools such as YouTube are your best friends in finding your perfect song… use them wisely.
At the Wedding Dance Malta studio our first job is to make sure that you select your perfect song for your wedding!
Did you ever watch those awkward first dance clips where the couple do the same awkward move for a whole five minutes? Well, we did.
There are two parts to this point: Short and Sweet.
Short – Your dance should not be stretched for more than 5 minutes. Long dances tend to be boring and unless you have something up your sleeve that will keep your audience in awe, we suggest that your dance should last for about 2 to 4 minutes.
So, the next time you think about the length of your first dance, just imagine the audience losing interest in you and your partner after just 5 minutes…Yikes!
Sweet – Your first dance should be more than just facing each other, hand in hand and moving awkwardly from one side to another for the whole length of the song. Rather, your first dance should be based on a well-thought routine incorporating your passion for your other half whilst putting on an amazing show.
The routine is more often than not quite difficult to devise without the help of expert wedding dance tutors. That’s why our dedicated Wedding Dance Malta dance teachers are here to help!
What does mastering your first dance matter if you are limited by your outfit on your big day? Most couples do think of this point and even go the extra mile and prepare a dedicated outfit for their dance, however, most love birds out there just dance in what they plan to spend the rest of the night with.
If this is your case, you should think properly of the different ways your outfit can impact your dance routine on your big day and plan your dance accordingly
