Dancing

How many weddings have you been to where the couple take to the floor and do a high school slow dance? It's sweet isn't it? No, it isn't. It's awful! I'm sorry if you did just that, I am very sorry if that's what you plan to do but no, it's not cool, it's really, really awful!

If you throw in a turn or two, it's better. So if you have no dancing ability and you want to just do the basics to get by and you're fully set on a slow dance, fine but then turn! Just do it, your guests will cheer and nobody will fall asleep or want to slit their wrists.

If you have the slightest inclination to do something more but don't want to attempt anything too hectic, learn the Rhythm Foxtrot. If you can walk, you can do this dance and you can even learn it at home if you don't want to go for lessons.




Here the flashing comes in again. You want to be a blushing bride, not a flashing bride so haul out them granny brooks or those boy shorts and save everyone on therapy bills.

Your one saving grace if you can't or don't want to do anything formal, is to do something silly. But not like so silly that you make a mockery of your wedding but something that brings out who you are. Just don't look at Youtube too much for inspiration lest you find yourself copying all those silly dances on there that everyone else has also copied.

The best thing with any dance though is that you must have an absolute blast doing it. Whether it's a Foxtrot, an Argentine Tango, The Macarena or your high school slow dance with a turn or two, have fun and everyone will enjoy it!
