Top Three Dance Styles This Wedding Season

Are you getting married in the first half of 2015? Then now is the time to begin taking first dance wedding lessons! For most grooms, and even a few brides, the journey towards learning a one-of-a-kind first dance can be daunting. As a couple, social ballroom dancing is most likely a hobby that you have never explored. Well, let the FUN begin as you gain the skills needed to shine on that dance floor for your big day.

You have the perfect song picked out, you found the right dance studio to take lessons, now comes the main question…”What dance should we do?”. No worries! Your dance instructor will be able to guide you on the dance that you will need to learn, based on the song options that you provide. So, no need to stress about that! There are popular dances that will put you on the “cutting edge” of couples who shine on the dance floor in 2015. Let’s explore what kinds of dances are hot for brides and grooms right now…

1. “The Fake Out”: The fake out is when you start your wedding dance with the timeless (and very boring) eighth grade prom sway then suddenly bust out into something completely unexpected, like a Salsa, Swing or Argentine Tango. The more unanticipated, the better! What guest at your wedding would not LOVE to see you in an element that they could have never imagined? An amazing first dance is the perfect gift for family and friends as well as a marvelous way for you and your fiancé to let out some wedding planning relief and enjoy each other on another level as an engaged couple. We call this type of wedding dance a Rock Your Reception first dance because you’re sure to bring the house down with a dance that no one saw coming!

2. Timeless Elegance: These days, we are seeing a trend in couples wanting choreography to their favorite Disney tunes like Beauty and the Beast. Brides and grooms are looking to reignite childhood memories and provide an elegant dance experience to their loved ones with classics from the big screen. Sweeping ballroom moves will set the tone for an elegant affair and bring everyone back in time-if even for a few minutes.

3. Gone Country!: By far, Country dancing, including Country Swing and Country Two Step, is the most requested dance style right now. For those with Country themed weddings and a favorite Country song to match, Country dancing as a first dance makes perfect sense! Plus, it’s a general crowd-pleaser since most Country dances are upbeat and lively.
