Getting married soon? Hopefully you have 3 months before your wedding to learn to dance to your first song as husband and wife.

My wife and I have been teaching couples their first dance for a long time and we find the dance moves in the following videos to be very helpful at making you feel comfortable and look great for your big day.

If you have questions about these dance steps or need a great DJ in the New York area please feel free to call us – 518-542-4272.

I recently received and email from a couple 1,000 miles away who learned to dance for their wedding by watching our online videos. This filled my heart with joy. I love sharing dance and am grateful that our online video lessons on YouTube are bringing joy to others as well.

We’ll be posting the videos here on our blog over time. Here is my email response which you may find helpful.

Hi,

Great to hear from you and thanks for all the feedback.

I sincerely appreciate that you are able to learn from our videos.

Especially for your wedding! Congrats on getting married.

Regarding songs, there are a couple of things to consider.

1. What emotion you want to convey, i.e. what is the feeling between you that you want to connect with

2. How fast the song is will depend on how fast you can dance, if you are just learning I recommend something around 155-170 beats per minute.
3. How long the song is: for a wedding dance 2.5 – 3 minutes is good.

There are a couple of songs I like that may work.

To play to the older crowd you have
The Carpenters – Top of the world
Kenny Rogers – Love will turn you around

More contemporary
Shania Twain – Holdin on to love
Tim McGraw – Just to see you smile
Vince gill – feels like love – may be too fast
Diamond Rio – Unbelievable
Patty Loveless – Lovin’ All Night

I hope that helps, please let me know if you need any more help.

I’d love to see your video if you plan to post it.
