Dancing at your wedding can be nerve wrecking, especially the first dance. It can feel like all eyes are on you, which in fact, they probably are. Unless both you and your husband are professional dancers and you know what you are doing out there on the dance floor, chances are you’re probably making it up as you go along.

That is why I highly recommend taking at least one dance lesson before the big day. Your first dance doesn’t have to be a choreographed, So You Think You Can Dance full-scale Broadway-style extravaganza, but knowing a basic waltz or two-step certainly wouldn’t hurt.

One of the best studios to work with is Arthur Murray International Dance Studios. The instructors are wonderful and work with beginners all the way to professionals. They are able to help choreograph your wedding dance, or just give you a few dancing lessons and tips.

Essence of Events works with Arthur Murray in Tacoma, but there are over 260 studios in 21 countries, so there is bound to be a location near you. To find yours, and to learn more, visit: http://arthurmurray.com/

If going to a studio isn’t exactly your thing, at least practicing to your song at home is a must. Knowing that you are both on the same page is important.

While you’re at your dress fitting, make sure you take a spin around the shop and you’re comfortable in the dress. You should make sure that your gown isn’t going to go anywhere and you can dance the night away, after all that’s what your wedding should be about; a celebration!
