Wedding Shoes

Having recently stood through the long wedding day I completely understand bridal woes concerning shoes. I actually wore my dance shoes for indoors and big rubber rainboots for outside (to save the suede soles). Wedding shoes are one of those super-romantic things like a bouquet, but one that you can keep forever. However when choosing these shoes please consider your comfort first, try to find a pair with an ankle strap (for balance and safety) that doesn't bind your toes too badly, also I would always recomment 2" or less for a heel, which is still perfect for an elegant wedding dance but won't have you crying by the end of the night. If all else fails, try Dr. Scholl's inserts for high heels. Visit here for more information on dance shoe brands or send me a message here.

First Dance Songs

Many brides want to learn the waltz for their first dance as it is the most elegant and beautiful (and certainly one of the more manageable in a big dress!). In order to find a good song for a waltz try and listen for a "slow-quick-quick" kind of beat. Most popular songs today have a more constant beat that isn't technically a waltz but you can do all the same steps and styling to these songs. For brides and grooms who have never danced before this can definitely be to your advantage because in these songs it is virtually impossible to get off time (probably the biggest problem for beginners). My husband and I had "unchained melody" by the righteous brothers and had to do this kind of waltz substitute and it came off very well, never let your song keep you from delivering a memorable performance, anything can be made to work!

If you have a song that presents a problem feel free to let me know, there are tons of dances out there that can be modified to fit you perfectly!
