ok ok, i know we left this a bit late, but we thourght it`d be easy, were getting married at the end of te month, and we came to practise/invent (ha ha) our dance and realised that we both have two left feet .....so thats four left feet people, any ideas of any sites with dance moves or any dances which will suit leanne rimes (how do i live), help needed for two crap formal dancers
Just hold each other close and move round slowly. You don't need to move much at all. People won't be looking to see how well you dance, they will just want to see how happy and in love you are. A slow dance is just a snog to music really - don't let "performance anxiety" spoil your day.
Copngratulations, by the way x
If you get your partner to turn around so her back is to you, her left foot, that was, in the 'traditional dance postion' opposite your right foot, will now, in the 'her back to you' position, be opposite your right foot, thus effectively swopping her feet, which following the theory through, means she now has two right feet. Combine her two right feet, with your two left feet and you will see that there are now enough left feet and right feet to service two able bodied people.

Thats the best idea :thumbup:
You should have said a month or two ago. I've not danced in years but I could have given you lessons in most basic dances, such as a Waltz rolleyes
All you have to do is stand close and shuffle ........they wont be watching your feet...they will be watching you smile into each others eyes and kissing.
besides if shes a long dress on that will hide her feet....and if you stick your toes under it even better wink just keep turning then all the aunties can go awwwwwwwwwwww
Hope you both have a wonderfull Wedding Day
all my best wishes for your future together kiss

Congratulations, hope you guys have a good day.
As for the dancing bit, I have no useful advice to offer as both me and Mrs. DP don't dance (me because I'm crap and her because she has balance and visual perception issues), so when we got married we simply told my mates to get on with it while we went off to socialise with other non-dancing people.
I'm a DJ. I see couple do their slow dance 60 to 70 times a year. Believe me, the only ones that look even vaguely embarrassing are those that have tried to choreograph a routine and fail to get it right. And even they at least get credit for putting some effort into it.
Choose a slow song that means something to you both. Nothing too quick and nothing too morbid. If you feel you might be embarrassed, ask the DJ / Band to wait a couple of minutes and then invite the other couples in the room to join you on the floor - make sure you've primed your parents, best man and bridesmaids so that they make their way up as soon as their asked. Once you've got 2 or 3 other couples up, it's just like the last song of the night.
As for the dance, simply place your arms around each other and move slowly to the music - the "dancing slowly in circles dance" as Lenny henry called it. You'll be surprised. When I got married I, during our slow dance I was barely even aware that there were other people in the room as I told her how much I loved her and how happy I was.

I'm crap AND I have balance issues even before I start drinking, mind you it didn't help at the last party I was at that I was dancing in my slippers and they are not good for maintaining your balance in (well it was a party in my sisters front living room and I like to feel at home). Having said all that even I can do the arms round each other slowly moving round dance.
So just relax and have a great day folks biggrin

You have left it a bit late but find a salsa class, go along, see if you like it and if you do book a few private lessons with the teacher, you'll knock em dead if you can do it.
And salsa is suprisingly easy.
And dead sexy!!!

sorry to be dense, is salsa a fastish dance cause we need a slow one, with a bit of frills
It's not manic but it's not slow, you dance as a couple and the bloke leads and turns the girl and spins her a bit.
I know of people who've done salsa for a first dance and it's wicked.
Go to a class and see, they usually have a bit for complete beginners.
ask DJ for the birdy dance.......come on surely you know how to do that !!!!!!
Take up robotic dancing and make an 80's night of it... you don't need to dance then.... lol
Or just sit down in front of Dirty Dancing and laugh your tits off when you attempt to recreate the dancing on a log over your bathtub....
