Reveling in a first night as a wedded couple and walking together through life speak of the moment as well as a harmonious future. The movements of the wedding dance are an ode to the intricacies of a shared relationship. Learn to perform a dance that has a profound effect on participants and audience alike.

Steps

1

Step One

Take video lessons with a friend or partner and agree on a series of practice dates. It may take a while to learn the steps by heart.

Step Two

Take lessons at a dance studio by yourself or with a partner. Group classes mean that partners trade off, so attending solo is common.
