Now that the hard part is out of the way for him, it’s your turn to get to planning the day of your dreams. From the flowers to your favorite frosting on your cake, there’s so much to think about! While it will take a bit of searching for that perfect venue and that glorious dress, of course, there’s a key piece of your wedding day that most brides and grooms tend to put off…Wedding Dance Lessons! That’s right! It’s not too fun to for your guests to watch you sway back and forth for your first dance, but with Wedding Dance Lessons, you can kick off your reception in a big way!

What’s hot in 2015 for first dances? Choreographed dances are ideal. So that the bride and groom can practice the same routine over and over again to get to a level of comfort where they can relax and look natural, we at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona always recommend private dance lessons for brides and grooms. This way, we can make magic happen with the song or songs of your choice and give you a dance that is customized for you, with your styles and personalities in mind.

Now that you know that it’s best not to wing it, what dances styles are in this year? Let’s explore:

1. Country Dancing: Country dancing is Hot, Hot Hot right now! We have brides saddling up and even wearing their Cowgirl boots underneath their gowns! With popular Country dances like Country Two Step, Country Swing and Country Waltz combined with trendy and romantic love songs by new and old artists alike, Country dancing is sure to make a playful and relaxed statement on your special day. In the last few years, we have seen multiple brides and grooms tie the knot at barns and similar Country themed venues, so having that perfect Country dance to match is a wonderful touch.

2. A Classic/Traditional Dance: On the other end of the spectrum, many couples are going traditional these days. Black tie affairs have never really gone out of style, but Pinterest has taken “upscale” to a whole new level. The perfect wedding dance for this kind of event may include a traditional Foxtrot or Waltz, or a dramatic Argentine Tango. Any of these dances, depending on the song you choose, will surely reflect a classy and elegant evening.

3. The “Surprise” Dance: If you’re looking to really leave a lasting impression with that extra special WOW factor, spring a Swing dance or Salsa dance on your guests! Imagine how you will get everyone in the mood to party with, what we call, a “Rock Your Reception” routine. In these fun dances that you may have seen on youtube, you would start out slow and then bust into an exciting dance that is completely unexpected. What a way to give back to your friends and family who came to support you on your wedding day! Rock Your Reception wedding dances are great fun, but planning is required to pull them off, so begin searching for a local dance studio in your area to get rocking’ on that dance floor asap!

With so many ways to shine on the dance floor, it’s your turn to see what fits you and your fiance best. Set up a Wedding Dance Consultation to get started on a dance that will last forever in the minds and hearts of all that love you most.
