Wedding First Dance Choreography Tutorial
skill level: beginner
Style: sweet, sentimental & fun
about this tutorial
Our House by Crosby Stills Nash & Young was actually my husband’s and my first dance song, so obviously this song holds a really special place in my heart. The choreography in this beginner-friendly wedding dance routine is simple, so you can enjoy the beauty of this song, while also having a little fun. For couples who love a vintage vibe that you get from artists like Van Morrison, but want something a little different, this is the song I’d recommend. It’s just the right length, and you can even shorten it if you don’t want to do the upbeat part of the dance (but I think you should!) You’ll learn all the movements in the video above, including how to put it together into choreography, so you can relax and enjoy your first dance!
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!
