ABOUT YOUR FIRST DANCE… (By MaryAnn Molloy of Real World Ballroom, Winston-Salem)
As a dance instructor, I love working with wedding couples! Here’s why:
That first dance. Wow. It’s one area amidst the madness where they can actually have fun, take full control, and really make it their own. It’s their time to shine and show the world how perfect they are for each other.
Often, I see couples putting their first dance on the back burner. Don’t! It’s the one thing you can’t hand off to a well-intended relative or a wedding planner. You have to take the time to do it yourself.
So, how about you give yourself the gift of that time?
Dancing together will add some much-needed routine (if you go regularly), exercise to boost your stamina for the big day, and some real fun!
Now, the point of its real importance: If you want your wedding to be memorable for you AND your guests, your first dance is a great way to do it. Yes, there’s the dress, handsome groom, delicious food, lovely setting. But that first dance moment? It focuses on you and your obvious love for each other.
From an attendee’s perspective what they see is LOVE. Two people gliding on the floor like no one else exists, not a care in the world except that present moment. Swirling and gazing into each other’s eyes. They feel romance and hope and love.
They will remember every second of it. So, go take those lessons – and don’t wait too long! Your family and friends will remember your wedding day and you two, in love, in real time floating on the dance floor!
