We took 2 lessons like 1.5 weeks before the wedding (advice: don't delay it like we did!) so we could learn a type of ballroom dance that fit our song. We ended up doing the basic waltz which was pretty easy. The lesson definitely helped so we weren't just swaying around like we were at a high school dance! I would recommend it if you have time/money to spend on the lesson.
my husband doesn't mind dancing, but i do. i hate it. i feel silly, i'm uncordinated, and to top it off i hate being the center of attention. not only did we not do first dance/parent child dances, we didn't dance at all at our wedding. i know my husband would have liked to, but he wanted me to be happy and comfortable at my own wedding.
I can't dance at all. I have two left feet and am afraid of embarrasing myself at my wedding. We decided to take dance classes and I just wanted to learn some steps and now the instuctor is coreographing our whole dance to a waltz! I can't figure out how we got into this but now we are learning the waltz LOL. I'm hoping I can learn enough to be comfortable and if not we will throw it all and just spin around hehe
@elaineathon: I'm glad to hear a couple dance lessons helped; that's about all we have time for. I am thinking basic waltz also.
@artbee: I know how you feel! I don't mind silly dancing around, but I am dreading the idea of a formal dance where 120 people will be staring at me. It's sort of like my idea of hell.
@roxy821: Haha! I could see that happening to me too! My FI says I always approach things I find scary, make them ten times more complicated, and then freak out and don't want to do it at all. That's what I am predicting with dance lessons. You are getting married the day before me! When did you start lessons?
@Ngolden1: The lessons helped but we really had to practice almost every day or else you forget! But by the end of the week we had it down so that we could do it pretty much without thinking about it. Now I'm not saying it was the prettiest dance ever but at least we looked like we knew what we were doing. :)
Practice dancing can be fun! We didn't have money/FH doesn't want to take dance lessons but asked a friend to give us tips. It helps if you have a song that lends itself to a waltz "3/4 beat." Another thing to try is podcasts and YouTube video how-tos.
Haha, yup that's me! We started our lessons July 6th and will have one every Tuesday up until the wedding.
We took lessons, but I still don't feel comfortable with ballroom at our wedding. We are gonna wing it and have a bit of fun with our bad dancing at the wedding. haha :)
is there a place in town where you can go out dancing for fun before? Check with colleges and universities in your area, many have a ballroom dance club that will host weekly dances, often with a basic lesson first. the one in my town is like $10 per week!

I don't. Neither does my FI. I am more willing to have fun with it. I told him that as long as we are having fun and seem relaxed, then who cares if we're stepping on each other's feet? Problem is - he feels super uncomfortable with dancing. We got in a pseudo-argument yesterday where I said I would rather skip all the dances than look uncomfortable and awkward. Fortunately, later in the night we "danced" to our song, and did have fun with it, so I'm feeling a little better. Does anyone else have a similar issue? Anyone take lessons? I am currently contacting dance studios to see if we can take a very basic dance lession.
