TGIF! Welcome to the last month of the year! Hopefully you’ve received a holiday pardon to brighten the season.

Survival – Personal Edition

Here’s a handy guide to get through your first dance at your first (and hopefully only) wedding.

• Warm up with your partner. Find a quiet and secluded spot to practice your dance steps.
• Tell the band leader or DJ so keep it short. There’s no need for the song to be longer than 2 minutes.
• Hold each other. Groom should have his right hand on the bride’s shoulder blade with fingers parallel to the ground. The bride’s right hand should be placed on the groom’s right shoulder. Keep your feet offset to each other so there’s no toe stepping. Finally, the groom’s chin should be lined up with the bride’s right shoulder.
• Start slowly when the music starts with a basic swaying motion. Once the beat starts, start dancing. Pick something simple like a Fox Trot or Waltz. No Tangos!
• While dancing, whisper to each other and laugh. This is an excellent excuse on missed steps in the dance.
• Do at least one dip. A proper dip is rotating the bride to the side instead of leaning over her. And do not overdo the dip. The bride should be able to comfortably right herself at the bottom of the dip. Any further risks some embarrassing results.
• Make sure the bride’s father and groom’s mother are nearby and ready to cut in after 30 seconds. You two lovebirds will have plenty of time to dance together over your long happy marriage.

Now that the dancing is done, go make use of that open bar and enjoy the evening.
