WEDDINGS
It wasn't so long ago that a
couple's first dance as man and wife, as special as
it was, was only an effervescent memory. With the
advent of home video, a newlywed couple's first
dance is almost always recorded on tape, available
down through the years for all of posterity to
see.
That's why prospective brides
and grooms who want to give a polished and graceful
performance on the their big day are increasingly
opting to take dance lessons to help prepare for
what may be the performance of their
lifetimes.
If you are planning to get
married, here are a few tips from the experts on
learning to dance in preparation for your wedding:
Don't wait until the last
minute. Remember that your schedule will get very
hectic as your wedding day approaches. Dance
instructors recommend starting four to six months
earlier to allow more time for practice, especially
if you are a newcomer to dancing.
Remember that dance lessons
can actually be a stress reliever. Dancing is good
exercise. And lessons pull you out of the day to
spend an hour or so with your intended, having fun
and working together.
Besides the Waltz and other
traditional dances, Merengue, Salsa, Swing and even
the Hustle are all popular at weddings today. If
you plan to dance to a special song at your
reception, feel free to bring a recording of it to
your dance lessons so you can work on it with your
instructor. (And don't forget to coordinate with
your wedding videographer to the best "coverage" of
your special dance.)
Learning to dance for your
wedding is a special gift that you and your
spouse-to-be can give to each other. Feeling
confident and poised when you dance together will
ensure that your very first dance as husband and
wife will be a memory you will cherish forever.
