The idea of performing publicly can be intimidating. Whether or not you have taken the time to take dance lessons, your first dance is the first thing you will do as a couple. The First Dance is the primary intimate moment during the reception. Try not to think about the fact that everyone is watching you. Surrender to wedded bliss as you gaze lovingly at one another, smile and think about the honeymoon!
Sometimes, when we are on display we may feel nervous or judged, therefore, pretend the two of you are alone and whisper sweet nothings, kiss or say you love each other. Not only will you enjoy the dance more, but you will also transport your guests into a lulled reverie as they watch a fairytale unfold! After the initial adrenaline rush and nerves wear off, you will probably be so blissfully happy during your wedding dance that you might even be giggling or laughing. The downside to laughing is that our natural tendency is to hunch our shoulders and bend our back forward. To maintain a firm frame and keep your toes safe keep your chin up when laughing. When laughing the bride should remember to keep her shoulder blades squeezed together and press outward away from her partner. The groom must keep his shoulders rolled back and down in their sockets.
