This section will take you approximately 30 minutes to up to two hours to complete, depending on how long you practice each section of the choreography before moving onto the next one.

Sometimes couples say they don't want "choreography" because they've seen another couple perform a dance where they were counting in their heads...

or looking stiff and stressed out during the dance. In most cases like that, those couples are dancing steps that are too difficult for their level and they are most likely under-rehearsed as well. Don't be those people! Practice together as often as you can. Remember, practice makes permanent!

That being said...

You don't need to know any choreography in order to dance to your first dance song.

Some couples will find the steps in this course very easy to string together on their own and will feel confident leading their partner through the steps in whichever order they want as the spirit moves them.

But in my experience...

If you don't really want to have to think on your wedding day, or if you want to reduce the pressure around "leading," I would suggest creating a plan for your first dance.

You can call it choreography or not, but it's really just a game plan so that you are both on the same page when you get out on the dance floor. Practicing the steps in a specific order every time also helps you create muscle memory and makes the transitions between steps even easier to execute. The more you practice, the more you'll be able to relax and be in the moment on your wedding day.
