Don’t worry! The bridal dance is typically done straight after the cutting of the cake. It usually marks the end of formalities and the start of party time. Years ago the dance would traditionally have been a waltz. Nowadays the type and standard of dance varies enormously. What’s important is the moment the new married couple share their first dance together – not the standard of their dancing, despite television shows raising some peoples’ expectations! Some people will take dancing lessons, while some will organise choreographed routines – sometimes involving their entire bridal party. The best suggestion is not to try and do something that doesn’t come naturally.
