First and foremost, decide what kind of mood you want to set with your dance? In case the bride and groom's sides are hosting the mehendi or sangeet ceremonies together, you can think of doing some fun dance routines there. For your mehendi or sangeet ceremony, some latka-jhatkas, fun moves and a loud song will do the trick. But, if you are thinking about doing a performance on reception, then go for a slow, intimate dance, which will look elegant and beautiful. You and your partner should get together to think about the mood for your dance. Most couples go for a soft song and some intimate steps, for their first dance.

#2.  Select the right song

Choose a song that will allow you a lot of flexibility in the dance steps. Simple romantic songs that last for two minutes or less are the best. This is because you do not want to bore your wedding guests who are watching, until and unless you are doing a salsa or a tango.

#6. Connect with your guests

  • Always keep a CD (or pen drive) of your song with you. There are good chances that your DJ might not have that song in their collection.
  • Instruct your videographer and photographer about your dance performance. They should be able to capture it beautifully from different angles.
  • Take a good look at the wedding dance floor and try out your new wedding shoes there. It is a good idea to try your steps on the dance floor before your actual performance.
  • Keep your DJ or wedding planner in loop for requirements related to lighting and smoke machine, etc.
