You could take a dance class together so he gets more comfortable with dancing.
My friend went to a wedding with no dancing. It was sort of a fair/carnival theme. They had a real ferris wheel and booths for people to enjoy. It was very different than a typical wedding but they wanted to avoid the dancing part!
welcome to the hive. I want to say that my FI is also very shy, but the first dance is actually his idea. We practiced by downloading some steps and practiced on our own, I am getting married in a few days so it will be a complete SHOCK to everyone to see him dancing with me. Sell him those points, if that doesn't work, how about if you combine the first dance by inviting your grandparents and his grandparents to the floor and share the first dance with you? This way, the whole attention is not on you guys and it is a great way to honor your grandparents on both sides, would he go for that?
Welcome!
Would he be OK with doing a first dance with all of your wedding party dancing simultaneously? Or your parents?
As far as the dancing at the wedding goes - could you keep the music at a minimum (dancing level but not a club level) until a certain hour (11ish after the cake cutting) and then crank it up for some late night fun?? Could that be a compromise he would go for?

Hi Everyone! I just stumbled onto this forum and it's so wonderful and exciting! I have a bit of a dillema and was hoping for some advice and insight. Just a bit of background - I'm 22, and although I just officially got engaged we've been talking about our wedding for years now. My FI is an amazingly sweet and sensitive guy - but very very private.
My problem is: he really doesn't want dancing at our wedding, while I really really do. The idea of the first dance makes him litreally feel sick, as he doesn't like being the center of attention. Additionally, he says his whole family is quite stoic and would feel out of place if they had to dance. However, our first dance is something I've been dreaming of since I was little, and the thought of not having our first dance, AND a dance with my dad is devestating.
Have any of you been in a similar situation? And on a practical level, if we DID decide to not have dancing, is it even possible to plan a nice wedding without dancing? I feel like that would be very stiff and quite boring. Also, have you ever seen a 'seperate' dance room, such that his family wouldn't feel like they have to dance? I'd really love all of your opinions!
