Your first dance is nothing to stress out about! Here are some helpful tips on choosing a song for your big day. Once you have picked a song, the rest is easy. Ask yourself a few simple questions:
Do we have “a song?” You know a song that has been in your life and reminds you of something, one that says something about you or makes you feel a certain way. If the answer is YES….USE IT! Your dance instructor will find a way to make it work on the dance floor. Every song is danceable!
Are we a traditional couple with a classic and timeless vibe?
