Untraditional First Dance?

Untraditional First Dance?

FH and I cannot see ourselves dancing to the typical slow love song, it's just not us. But we are having trouble coming up with something that will be 'danceable' and appropriate. Is anyone else considering something different or could make a suggestion?

I went to a wedding about 2 months ago and the bride and groom where introduced to 'My first My last My everything' and when they made it to the middle of the dance floor they just started dancing and then the DJ told everyone to get up and dance. It was different.

What about doing a swing dance and using something upbeat like, 'How sweet it is to be loved by you' or Stevie Wonder, 'For Once in my life'.

I like the Barry White suggestion, 'My first my last my everything'.

I think the more upbeat the song is the more dance options you have.

We always have polka music to fall back on, YES!

If you like swing, I'd suggest 'In The Mood.' Great song, lots of fun, butnot your typical 1st dance song.

HTH

That is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.

we're thinking of doing a salsa or chacha for our first dance, like Oye Como Va by Tito Puente.

We danced to Frank Sinatra's 'The Best is Yet to Come'--it's not too slow or too mushy...and it's kinda a sexy song

Al Green 'Let's Stay Together' is another cute option

A few of the wedding I have been to had upbeat songs. Here are the first dance songs I cab remember.

What I Like About You-The Romantics
Get Down Tonight- KC and The Sunshine Band
For Once In My Life- Stevie Wonder
Gimme Some Lovin- Spencer Davis Group

The guests loved the songs and it set the tone for a great night

That video is great!!!

FH doesn't really dance so we picked a faster song that we LOVE and may not be so traditional.

That video was awesome!!!! So funny!!! I wish Steven would be up for something like that...our family and friends would crack up!!!!

We are not big fans of corny mushy music either...As of now we have chosen 'Can't Help Falling in Love' - The Remake by Eddie Veder (Pearl Jam) LOVE IT!!!!

We are also going to have the DJ invite everyone in ASAP, so we are not out there too long on our own...
