Top tips for your first dance…..
*Choose a song that is danceable and one that is wedding appropriate. If you are not going to take dance lessons and just plan to shuffle, then if the song is longer than 3 minutes, then please have your band or DJ invite the bridal party onto the dance floor half way through.
*Consider both of your shoes. If you can get access to your dance floor prior to the big day, test your shoes, as some floors can be very slippery! Cola or scoring your shoes with a knife can help reduce slippiness.
*Even if you are just going to wing it on the day, there is no harm trying out some moves in your dress prior to the big day (obviously not with future husband or wife!) *Lowered sleeves can prevent you lifting arms and doing an impromptu dip or back bend can cause problems in a strapless dress!
*Ensure your bustle is properly secured with a safety pin, you don’t want your train falling down, causing you and your partner to slide around the dance floor!
*If doing lifts, wear a skirt (or actual underskirt) similar to your dress and practice. If you get a chance on the day to freshen up, use this time to practice in your dress and heels.
*If you are doing a choreographed dance, try and practice at least 5 minutes a night, to keep it fresh. Muscle memory is important to ensure confidence on the day. Play your song often so you know the tempo and words inside out and back to front! You may get sick of it, but this will help immensely.
*On the day, during your first dance, I would advise, as much as possible, to look into your partner’s eyes. You don’t want to catch a family member or friend’s eye, which could cause you to lose focus and forget the next step. Also, looking towards your partner gives better lines.
*If doing choreography, remember no one knows what you are supposed to be doing, so don’t make it obvious if you make a mistake. If in doubt, shuffle!
*Most importantly smile and enjoy. This is your first dance, as a married couple. Try to forget there are hundreds of eyes on you and make your dance one you will remember forever.

Listening to the radio on the way to work today, it was like listening to a tribute to all of my wonderful couples I have helped with their dance over the years. Every song that came on, brought a huge smile to my face, bringing back fond memories of the couples and our lessons together.
I am so privileged to have the opportunity to be a part of such a fun time in the lead-up to the big day. Every couple is different, every lesson is unique and I love every single one of them! 💞

Aw thank you Tiaan and Aimee for sharing. Love this wee video clip of your dance!! Absolutely beautiful! 💕

Impress your guests with a simple, yet effective lift, creating a picture perfect moment!

19/09/2023

Was an absolute pleasure helping this gorgeous couple create their dream dance. We had so much fun and I am delighted how it has turned out. The final lesson was a little more contained than the final performance, which I love! Although a little anxious about being in the spotlight, Florie certainly took it in her stride and lapped it up😍 Kyle amazing, totally in control and ready for anything🤩
Fantastic job! I look forward to catching up!

Are you struggling to pick the perfect first dance song? It is rare these days to have a song that means a lot to a couple, so choosing a song can be a mammoth task! Long gone are the days, where every second couple came to us, with the same song choice. It has been so varied over the last few years, so I have listed some of the most recent songs I have worked with and know work well as a first dance. Not all songs are!
If your song is not on the list and you wonder if it will be easy to learn some steps to, then please get in touch. We are more than happy to provide advice.

It may not be the first thing you think about when organising your wedding, but the thought of getting up in front of friends and family will hit you at some point! Don't be that couple to just shuffle awkwardly around the dance floor! You may think you have two left feet, but believe me, you do not, and by booking a lesson or two with MairiMeDance, you will find you can achieve so much more than you ever dreamed of! Each lesson is bespoke and tailored to each couple. We have all the tips and tricks to make your dance simple, while at the same time, looking super impressive!
So if you or someone you know has an upcoming wedding, then get in touch.
It will be the best wedding decision you make, apart from the decision to get married of course!

Wedding season is certainly in full swing🍾💞🧥💍meaning I have had the pleasure of meeting 9 new couples over the past week, all with varying song choices. When I started helping couples 16 years ago, I did find that there were the more "popular songs" chosen, but it is very rare these days to have a repeats song, which makes my job even more pleasurable.
Excited to see how my new couples progress, there are some very fun dances being created!
If you are planning a wedding, then why not consider a few dance lessons to have you confident on the dance floor. You will bot regret it! Struggling to choose a song? Check out my website for some song inspiration that are perfect to dance to.
