5 Common Mistakes Made in the Wedding Dance










Based on my 18 years of experience in wedding dancing and impressions from numerous dance videos I've come across on social media, I want to share five common mistakes made during the wedding dance. I hope you won’t fall into these traps!

  1. Keeping the Music Too Long: A duration of 2-2.5 minutes is perfectly sufficient for the first dance. By keeping the music short, you can leave a memorable impact on your audience. I recommend shortening your music using a professional music editing program to create an unforgettable effect.


  2. Looking at Your Feet: As you look down at your feet, we feel the urge to look at them too. Also, don’t forget that from the outside, you may look like two stubborn goats butting heads! Especially, gentlemen, you need to be extra careful about this!!!! My grooms know why.


  1. Don’t Talk During the Dance: As you talk, the audience starts paying more attention to understand what you’re saying, and your photos will end up showing you with funny expressions. I don’t mind if you sing along to the song; I think it captures sweet and natural moments, especially when you smile unintentionally. I can already imagine some photographers giving me a hard time. 🤣🤣🤣 The choice is yours.



  2. Don’t Count: Don’t just count the rhythm with your mouth; use your eyes and nod your head up and down too. If you’re struggling to catch the rhythm, you can practice our rhythm exercises. Alternatively, you can choose a song with a rhythm that you can easily follow.


  3. And the most, most, most important thing! Please work with an experienced instructor in wedding dance❣️ You might find an excellent ballet, salsa, or tango instructor, but please check their wedding experience. Be sure to watch the dances of the couples they've trained! When the wedding dress comes into play, the whole dynamic of the dance changes. You may not be able to perform a dance you do comfortably in everyday clothes on your wedding day while wearing a gown. So don’t leave it to chance; work with an instructor who has wedding experience and whose couples' dances and style you admire.


Remember, the wedding dance will be one of your unforgettable moments. Avoid mistakes and enjoy this special day! 💃🕺
