The tradition of the first dance of the newlyweds is more than one hundred years old. The newlyweds receive the entire dance floor at their disposal and dance alone, not interrupted by anyone, in front of all the guests gathered, opening their entertainment program at the celebration. And although there are usually many people present, the first dance of young people is a deeply intimate and symbolic act. It reflects all the feelings and emotions experienced by the bride and groom. At this point, do not be shy or shut, it's best to let out all the emotions that for many years will remain in your memory and in the form of photos and video - because any photographer or videographer is happy to take pictures of these unforgettable moments. Therefore, the first dance should be prepared especially carefully.
Which dance to choose
First of all, it is worth choosing the dance that the bride and groom will perform. And, of course, respectively, pick up music for him. Traditionally, newlyweds choose the waltz for the first dance. Music for him to pick up easily, most often prefer the classics, although many use a variety of treatments of classical compositions. If someone from the newlyweds (or both) do not know how to dance a waltz, then this should also be thought in advance. It is possible that you will have to take a couple of dance lessons from a professional teacher. The bride should not forget that she will have to dance, dressed up in a wedding dress, which is easy to get confused, which should be taken into account when training, dressing accordingly.
If the lessons of wedding dances do not correspond to your plans (or you get beyond your total budget), in order to learn the basic movements, you can use different video lessons while studying this or that style of dance right at home.
Since the day of the wedding is a significant day, the memory of which I would like to leave for a long time, then do not be afraid to experiment and bring in the dance some risky and non-traditional movements, such as twists and turns and support - let others have a chance to be surprised and admire your skills, but not take a great interest in it, it's still a wedding, not a dance contest, you should not use too complex elements.
It is possible that you will have to spend a lot of time preparing the dance, but all this will pay off handsomely, when you will enjoy the attention of the invited guests, perfectly performing your wedding dance.
If it so happens that someone from the newlyweds does not know the movements of the waltz, and there is no time or opportunity to learn, it is quite possible to use any other dance as the first wedding dance, if only the bride and groom can perform it. Of course, the dance should be as suited to the bride in temperament and beauty, in order to fully reflect all that they feel towards each other.
What melody to choose for the first marriage dance
The most important thing is to choose the melody for the dance. It can be a composition that means something to the newlyweds. Or, for want of such, one can give preference to beautiful classical melodies, which have been sounded for many years now and are popular with most people of different generations. After all, many years later, the newlyweds will, together with their grandchildren and children, look through their archives, remembering the first wedding dance, and of course it would be desirable that the composition under which the dance was performed is liked by the descendants of today's newlyweds. It is possible that they will want to choose her for their first wedding dance!
According to tradition, after a certain time, other guests join the dance of the newlyweds. Therefore, the melody should be as long as possible, so that not only the newlyweds can dance, but also the guests invited to the wedding.
It must be remembered that it is necessary to decorate not only the place where the wedding will be held, but also the very first dance. To do this, usually use shiny confetti, rose petals and so on. Often, invited guests or organizers of the celebration can help. You should try to make the first wedding dance unforgettable.
