Make It Sweet by Old Dominion
Wedding First Dance Choreography Tutorial

SKILL LEVEL: BEGINNER

STYLE: FUN & PEPPY

about this tutorial

This tutorial to Make It Sweet by Old Dominion was requested by a couple who wanted an upbeat and fun wedding dance with lots of twirls and dips. This choreography may look complicated but it is very easy to learn and to remember because it follows the same pattern multiple times. None of your guests will know that, though! ;-) 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!
