SoundONE Disco - The First Dance And Wedding Songs:

The First Dance is usually the most important dance at any wedding disco it always involves the bride and groom and sometimes others will participate in a carefully choreographed routine. Often the bride and groom would have spent several hours preparing a routine especially for this first dance. It's an important tradition and normally a great opportunity for the guests to take some lovely photographs. So you should choose the music for your first dance carefully, if you're not much of a dancer you may want to choose a slow song, as anyone can do a slow dance, but if your a bit more flamboyant then you may want to go for something a little different and give your guests a bit of a treat.

Some couples can get very nervous about doing the first dance and some may opt not to do one at all because of the fears or pressure. So if you are a little nervous or worried about this, you may want to consider asking the DJ to call the guests up to join you on the dance floor after short period of time. This can take a lot of pressure off of you and you still get to do the first dance. If you do this it's a good idea to let the photographer know this is going to happen as he/she will have less time to get a few good shots. It will also help if you prime a few close family members and friends to come and join you part way through when the DJ asks because unprimed, the last thing you would want is for the DJ to ask the guests to join you and nobody does, because this will make you even more nervous.

Other Dances:

---

There are several other dances besides the first dance and some couples like to choose a 2nd or even a 3rd track to be played after the first dance.

Often the father will want to dance with his daughter on this special occasion, this is known and the father and daughter dance, another dance that is not as popular but some couples go for is the mother and son dance.

The next big one of course is the last dance of the night. You may want to leave this up to the DJ or have a couple of choices ready at least, if you have a lot of guests at the end you may want to finish on a track so that you go out with a bang, if you only have a small number of guests left you may want to end with something a bit quieter and more intimate. Because it's never really possible to predict how many guests will be left at the end of the evening it's good to have a couple of choices, this way you can go with the one that would best suit the moment.
