I Only Have Eyes For You by The Flamingos
Wedding First Dance Choreography Tutorial

skill level: beginner

Style: romantic Vintage vibes

about this tutorial

I say this about a lot of songs, but I Only Have Eyes For You by The Flamingos is really one of my favorite first dance song choices. I love all things vintage, and this song is so vintage that it feels almost modern. This song is a classic, so everyone knows it, but it’s less popular than something like At Last, which makes it an unexpected delight. This choreography is simple, sweet and so easy to learn, even for beginners with “two left feet.” You will learn all the movements in the video above, including how to put it together with the music. This takes the guesswork out of it so you can enjoy your first dance and truly be in the moment!

can we really learn to dance online?

Yes, you can learn to dance for your wedding online and quickly, even if you've never danced a day in your life. Like learning a new language, learning to dance takes effort and consistency. You won't be able to just watch the videos and then magically be able to dance if you don't actually practice the steps. But I promise, this is still the easiest wedding dance tutorial that exists online. Some couples will find this online method of learning even easier than in-person lessons because you will see exactly how the steps are supposed to look before you even try them.

How long does the choreography take to learn?

The entire tutorial takes two to three hours to complete, including practice time between steps. If you have the time, I recommend focusing on one step per practice session. It will take you a little less than a week to complete if you break it apart into one or two sections per day. If you are a marathon learner or test-crammer, you might set aside several hours on the weekend to learn each step in the course before putting it together into choreography. You’ll still need to practice the dance leading up to your wedding to build muscle memory!
