How do I choose the right wedding dance style?
Start by thinking about the kind of music you love and how you want to feel during your dance. If you love romantic slow songs, a waltz or rumba might suit you. Prefer energy and fun? Try swing or salsa. Not sure? We’ll guide you through some steps at your first lesson and help you find what feels best in your body, suits your song, and fits your wedding vibe.
What’s the most popular first dance style?
The most popular styles are waltz, rumba and foxtrot — these feel smooth, romantic and suit many classic love songs. But increasingly, couples are choosing personalised mashups or slow sway dances with simple movement. It all depends on your vision and comfort. We customise everything to you.
Can I combine different styles in one routine?
Yes. We often help couples blend styles — starting slow and classic, then shifting into upbeat Latin or hip hop. This keeps the dance surprising and fun. We’ll help you match transitions and build a routine that reflects your personality and keeps guests entertained.
What if we just want to sway and keep it simple?
That’s absolutely fine. Many couples prefer a calm, natural moment on the dance floor without any choreography. We offer sway dance classes focused on posture, timing, and comfort. Even a slow sway can feel elegant and meaningful with just a few simple adjustments.
Will the style work for our wedding venue or dress?
Yes. During your lessons, we’ll take into account the size of your dance floor and what you’ll be wearing. If your dress is tight or your venue is small, we’ll keep the steps compact and comfortable. You can even practise in your wedding shoes to get the full feel. Our goal is to make sure everything works seamlessly for your big day.
