Dance to Your Own Beat...Here's How!
When you are learning your first dance, there are a number of things that typically will make you anxious. Dancing does not come naturally for most and when it comes down learning a choreography, well that is a whole new beast to tackle.
One of the most common concerns that I address at my dance sessions is the beat of the music. How important is it really to dance perfectly on-tempo? Will anyone really know the difference between a slow or a quick rhythm when they have a drink in their hand?
The answer to all of these questions, and more, is no. Absolutely no one in your wedding party will specifically stare at your feet and count out the rhythm as you and your significant other are dancing away. Relax, smile and enjoy your moment on the dance floor!
However, here are a few great tips to learning how to hear and dance to the rhythm:
1: Put on a song of your choice, with a strong beat (ex: Bruno Mars- Just
the Way You Are)
2: Tap your foot, snap your fingers or bob your head to the accenting beat
3: Start moving your feet side to side (side tap, side tap, etc)
4: Now try finding an accented beat in your wedding dance choice
5: Repeat these steps until you are moving freely, side to side, to your first dance song choice
VOILA!
Remember, these things do take time but with practice, everything is possible. Whether you want to freestyle through your first dance or perfect every little detail, the choice is yours. Your wedding dance teacher will help you with whichever decision you make.
