Hello, everyone! While your first wedding dance symbolizes enchanting love, it can also be terrifying to a bride or groom with two left feet. And as much as you’d rather just skip that part, chances are that your brand new spouse and your guests may feel cheated out of that special moment. Before you start to think that you’re between a rock and a hard place, we at Yazzie & Co. have the perfect solution that’ll get you over that hump – teaching yourself how to dance. Not only will you be able to effortlessly glide over to your new bride or groom, you may just be as good as a Dancing with the Starscontestant.

You’re probably thinking that your hectic life leaves little time for you to take lessons in a professional studio. Well, the good part about that is that you can teach yourself from the comfort of your own home. In addition, you’ll spare yourself the self-consciousness that you’ll feel from revealing your lack of skills in a public forum. Now that you’ve made the time and the space, you can implement the four principles of dance – posture, balance, rhythm, and movement. Wedding expert, Mary Pinizzotto, lays it out in this simple equation – breath steadily to control your posture and balance while stepping and moving with grace and poise. This sounds complicated, but it really isn’t once you allow yourself to feel the music. From there, your feet and body will move naturally while you’ll find yourself having fun! As far as what dances you should learn for your big day? Pinizzotto recommends that you stick to the rumba, waltz, or foxtrot as two-step dances that you’ll be able to pick up easily when you apply the four principles to yourself. You can easily take your cues from YouTube tutorials, for there are plenty of professional dancers who provide lessons through these clips. Not only will you get to learn along, but you’ll have an interactive and fun experience in appreciating dance!

Once you’ve gotten the hang of dance, you can either stick to the familiar steps that you’ve learned or personalize your wedding dance by adding a little something at the end. Not only will an extra twirl or dip be memorable to your bride or groom, it’ll be quite a show for your guests. Just remember to keep your steps in sync as you would with your hearts and your wedding day is guaranteed to be special!
Until Next Time,
