Struggling to find the perfect First Dance song for your big day? Scroll no more. Our wedding dance choreographers have put together the ultimate playlist of beautifully romantic acoustic songs perfect for dancing and romancing to! We’ve taught hundreds of couples their First Dance and know that the most beautiful Wedding Dances result from both partners having an emotional connection to their chosen song. We also understand that majority of couples have never danced together before their wedding day so a slow to mid tempo (not too fast but not too slow) is perfect for beginners to move around the dance floor comfortably. Another reason to choose an acoustic melody, is that they tend to have quite a “forgiving” background beat so there’s less pressure to dance perfectly in time to the beat; ideal for those that just wanting a wedding dance that looks natural and feels relaxed!
