Tips for Picking a First Dance Song

The other day on our IG I asked "what's your First Dance song?" and was amazed by the hundreds of answers we received! 

While many couples were clear on their song choice, LOTS of people shared that they were struggling to find the right song.

It's understandable to feel overwhelmed by the endless song choices available to you (and you may be feeling decision fatigue from all the wedding planning you've done to this point too). 

Here are a few questions to help you get unstuck and EXCITED about your First Dance song:

  1. Do you want it to feel modern or old school? Think Ed Sheeran or Etta James vibes?

  2. Do you want to do a classic/romantic dance or something more upbeat & playful?

  3. Do you want to dance to ONE song or do a mashup of songs with different styles?

  4. And most important of all -- Do you LOVE LOVE LOVE the song? Like really love it... so in 12 years from now you will hear it and get the goosies (as J Lo says). 

How do you pick a song that's ideal for dancing?

When you book your virtual private lessons at Wedding Dance Coach, your instructor can help guide you in your final song selection to ensure that it's easy to dance to and is the style & vibe you are going for.
