Rock Your Reception

istock_000006662125xsmallA great way to kick off the party at your wedding reception is to “Rock Your Reception” with a choreographed first dance. Your wedding guests are in for an unexpected surprise when you break out of the traditional and slightly dull, typical first dance. However, it does not have to be something wild and crazy, it can also be fun and silly. Basically you just want something that will fit your style as a couple and something that you will enjoy. Your guests are bound to have a good time if they see you are having fun as well.

Some ideas for different styles you could incorporate include Salsa, Hip Hop, Tango, Country Two-Step, Swing, and many others! You can use a single style or you can even use a combination of different styles that can be meshed together smoothly into one dance. Taking lessons for your first dance will alleviate one more thing that you have to plan, saving you the time that you would have spent coming up with it all on your own. This will give you and your fiancé(e) one more thing that you can bond over right before the big day.

Dancing in the Right Wedding Dress

first wedding dance schools mesa azShopping for the right wedding dress can be a daunting task. One thing to look for when choosing your dress is if you can dance in it. The first dance that you will share with your husband will be something that you will remember forever. Don’t let that moment get ruined by a lack of movement or some other issue with your dress.

Some common dress styles are the a-line, empire, sheath, ball gown, and mermaid dresses. Now not all of these dresses are bad for dancing, you just have to be aware of some of the common issues that can hinder your dancing ability. Some dresses that stick out right away with some concerns are the sheath and the ball gown.

The first dress is the sheath. This type of dress can actually hinder your movement while dancing because of the tightness around the feet and knee area. This could prevent you from doing and tips, spins, or taking normal to wide steps. The next dress that stood out as a potential problem is the ball gown. If you are going for a ball gown, make sure it is not so big that your husband can’t even come a foot from you. You should probably have someone you brought wedding dress shopping to test this out with you.

Just be sure to try a variety of movements while you are dress shopping, especially sitting and walking. That should help you judge the range of motion you will have while on the dance floor. If you are still looking for a place to take some dance lessons, Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, offers Wedding Dance Lessons. We can help you plan and choreograph your first dance so it matches you and your fiancé’s style individually and as a couple.
