Step 1 - Simple Intro

A simple yet elegant wedding dance intro will set the tone of your first dance. It will also help you look collected and confident before you begin dancing. It is also a great way to "fill time" if you have a longer first dance song. Use the intro shown in the video below or use it as an inspiration. 

*We suggest dancing no more than 3 minutes for your first dance. It's a good idea to keep your first dance short and sweet especially if you don't know a lot of dance moves. That way, you don't have to repeat the same move over and over ....

Step 2 - Basic Step

This basic wedding dance step is perfect for beginners. It is easy to learn and perform. Plus, it doesn't take up a lot of space so you can use it on dance floor in any size.  

 

Step 3 - Simple Right Turn

Once you feel comfortable with the basic, it's time to add some flare to your first dance! This simple right turn shown in the video below can be mastered easily. For the leaders, the key is to is keep doing the same basic while signaling the turn at the correct time. For the followers, make sure to turn on a straight line and take small steps. Spotting your partner (look at your partner while you turn) will also help you maintain a good posture and balance. Have fun!

 

Step 4 - The Dip

Now, what do you do when your first dance song is about to end? One of our favorite ways to finish the first dance is to do the dip. You probably have seen it many times on TV or at social dance events. You might even have tried to do it yourself. However, not many people know how to do it correctly. In this video, you will learn the correct posture and body positions required to execute the dip safely and gracefully.
