Of course there will be
much fewer choice for completely newbies than the experienced ten
dances couples. But here, we are technical free, let's say you plan
it a year ahead, you will no longer be a novice. So what are our
concerns when to comes to choosing a dance style?
First thing first, the
song! A dance is danced to express ourselves and to present the
music. Normally couples choose their song before choosing their
dance, as their have the say on song and leave choreographing to us
the dance teachers.
Also your venue size
and shape may affect your choice. A small place can only do spot
dance, while a grand hall doesn't go well without progressing all
around. All ballroom dances are progressive dances; however, it
doesn't mean that you can only choose ballroom but no Latin dances if
you have a big floor. Latin dances though mostly non-progressive,
they can be a moving dance if the floor allows.
Theme of your day is
another concern because as I said in Part 1, some dances just do not
fit a grand hall banquet, some dances look weird in a garden setting.
So you really need to think things thoroughly before you decide to
have a beach wedding.
Ar, the style of your
dress. This is one that most people tend to look over. The style and
cutting of your dress definitely affect how your dance will look. You
know what I mean of your imagine couple wearing ballroom gown doing
Samba- will inevitably be clumsy; or Latin dance costume goes on a
Waltzing couple- just look awkward.
Last but not the least,
your personal style. Some people can move their hips freely, but
can't hold a decent frame, while some can have nice and
well-controlled footwork but not a hit rhythm. As long as you both
feel comfortable and enjoyed, that particular dance style should be
your style.
Go to part 1 to see what not to choose, or part 3 for freshand unconventional ideas.
