Is anyone else absolutely terrifeied of their first dance, I'm dreading it. I can't bear the thought of all eyes on us for a whole 3-4 minutes of nervous crap swaying to a slow song. Have bought up the idea of a funky youtube style dance but OH doesn't seem keen and think it would make me feel worse. Can I get away with scrapping first dance altogether? Its really bothering me.
I know how you feel! I can't dance whatsoever so i'm telling everyone that after 1 minute they have to join us on the dancefloor !
I too am terrified hehehehe
Not much help or reassurance to u im sorry!

I wouldnt worry about it... if you dont fancy a first dance because it makes you nervous then dont do it.
You could always do something silly like the YMCA or the macarana if you want to have a laugh and get everyone to join in so that everyone wont be looking at you. Plus people will always rememeber it for being fun.

Seriously don't worry. Just hold each other close mumbling about how embarassing this is and before you know it, loads of crinkly oldies will be on the floor doing their 2-step! Always happens at the weddings I go to, and am sure it will happen at mine!
Hi
I'm not terrified of the first dance, but do think that they sometimes just look crap and cheesy. So, we're having a more upbeat song (Aint nobody loves me better) which has lovely and apt words and we're dancing the first verse or so and then the bridesmaids and best men are under strict instructions to come and join us on the dance floor. We're having a band and this will be their first song and so I want our dance to be a que for everyone else to hit the dance floor!

I'm a bit nervous about it too but I think it's because I know H2b is and I know I'll be the one leading all the spinning lol! Thing is, by that time you will have had a few drinks (though not drunk!) and will probably be so caught up in the whole day that you won't mind. I agree with what the other ladies have said about getting people to join you, i think we will tell ours that too XXX
We don't fancy doing a first dance so we're not having one! There are no rules that you have to follow certain traditions if thats not what you want to do. xx
I was also a little worried about it being dull and boring so i researched special dance tutors for wedding couples and some offer 6 week courses before the big day and you tell them the song and they help you look good on the dance floor. Not too expensive at around £120 if you have room in your budget and takes the pressure of worrying throughout the dinner about the dance.

I'm actually looking forward to my 1st dance. neither h2b or I can dance, but there won't be alot of movement allowed due to my dress anyway. H2b and I never dance together, so it will be about the 3rd time of dancing in 7 years. lol x
dont worry about it just shuffle and it will soon be over - hubby hated our 1st dance
I am refusing to have a first dance unless H2B agrees to dance lessons.
I don't want to learn a set routine. I just want us to learn how to move around the dancefloor without doing a ridiculous shuffle!

We put together a routine for the song "Sway" then week before he bottled it and scared the life out of me, thought he was going to cancel over it, but he wanted to simply dance to a song called Better by Tom Baxter.
It was great!! A few twirls and we just had fun with it. A few glasses of bubbly ad you don't care whose watching

My h2b is quite shy ans really doesn't want to have a first dance. This is fine with me, I don't want him to feel like I forced him into anything. If you really feel like you don't want one then don't. Its your wedding and there is no written rule saying you must have one. x
im really worried about this too, sometimes ithink we'll have lessons, then i just think it will ruin my day thinking about doing it so why bother? plus, if he rips my dress ill kill him! LOL
