The short answer is no, 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.

For couples who need a little more direction, I would definitely recommend following the choreography laid out in this section. Practicing the steps in a specific order every time helps you create muscle memory and makes the transitions between steps even easier to execute.
