First dance

Sarah, on November 16, 2019 at 8:10 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 8
So my fiancé and I are having a hard time choosing a song for our first dance. All of the songs that are like “our song” are all hardcore rock n roll or heavy metal. Has anyone else had a hard time choosing a first dance song? Also has anyone taken dance classes to learn how to dance for your first dance? My fiancé wants us to literally just stand in the middle of the dance floor and just hold me and have us sway back and forth.

    Your first dance can be any type of music girl. Pick whatever song that has meaning behind it💜

    Your song can be whatever you want! Ours will be "Shallow" by Lady Gaga because I was in the kitchen cooking a few days after the proposal and when the song came on, he started dancing with me (we cannot dance!) and he cried. If the song means something to you two, use it! Maybe find an acoustic version? Or if you have a band, they can make it slower.
    And we definitely want to do dance classes.

    There’s nothing wrong with changing the song or being indecisive! We changed ours 3 times.

    Maybe you can find a cover for one of the rock songs you really enjoy. That way the meaning is there, but danceability will be improved and it would be more suitable for the wedding.

    If your wedding is still a year away, don't stress. Plenty of songs will come out over the next year that might be perfect for you two. My husband and I did not have a first dance song until a month before, then Thomas Rhett's new album came out and BAM - first dance song Smiley smile

    My daughter had a hard time also, she finally found a Shinedown song that they will dance to. See if there is a slow song by one of your favorite bands. Most have at least one.

    She just asked me for dance lessons for Christmas, just so they will look a bit more polished on the dance floor.

    I don't think anyone would care it they just slowly turned while swaying but she would like to try.

    No dance lessons. It was just us holding each other while the song played. What we did was listen to songs together until we found one that fit. We both love classic rock and country, but we ended up choosing neither. We went with "Perfect" by Ed Shearan because the lines perfectly fit our love story
