Leave a Lasting Impression with the Perfect Wedding Dance Song
So you’re gonna tie the knot! Congratulations! Weddings involve a lot of planning – from dresses, to cakes, to flowers, to… Well, everything else. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming without helpful hints from loved ones and professionals. Here at Dance FX Studios, we’ve spent the last 13 years helping brides and grooms in the Phoenix valley create their perfect first dance. Before you even think about your first dance, you have to think about the perfect song, right? Let’s talk about what you should be looking for in a song to make a spectacular first dance come to life.
Pick a song with meaning
If you’re going the romantic first dance route, try to pick a song that has a lot of emotional ties for you. Listen to the lyrics – do they speak to you? Do they mirror your relationship and your feelings for one another? Music is meant to tell a story, and on your big day, that story should be yours.
Look for the right speed for your dance
Think about what kind of dance you want to do! If you’re looking for a slow dance, maybe Vanilla Ice isn’t the best choice. Then again, if you’re wanting something fun and flashy, a spicy salsa or a bouncy swing is perfect! Think about what kind of first dance you want to have and try to find music that matches the mood. Don’t know what kind of dance will match your crazy song choice? No worries, that’s what we are here for.
Keep your theme in mind
Not all weddings have a theme, but if you are getting married in Cowboy boots, consider a country song for a fun Two-Step dance! If Great Gatsby is more your style, a big band song could make for an awesome Jitterbug. There are so many dances out there – no one says you have to do the eighth grade sway as your first dance as husband and wife.
The most important rule? Pick whatever song feels right. We have a list of the most popular wedding dance songs here for you to take a look at for ideas. If you can’t choose, bring a few options into the studio and we can help you decide. With thousands of first dances under our belts, we know what songs work and what songs don’t. We are all about making your special day even more special, so if you live in the greater Phoenix area, join us for a wedding dance consultation.
