Which wedding dance suits us? Take the self-test

Planning your own wedding is a journey full of decisions, and one of the most emotional questions is: What should it look like, the first dance together as a married couple? The opening dance is much more than just a part of the program at your celebration. It is the moment when all eyes are on you, the music starts, and you symbolically ring in the transition to the big party. But while some couples have dreamed of an elegant Waltz since childhood, others want a relaxed performance that heats up the atmosphere.

To find out which style really suits you, your personality, and your wedding guests, an honest assessment helps. Do you want to honor tradition, make your guests laugh with a surprising show act, or get the entire crowd moving right away? Before you get lost in the dense jungle of choreographies, you should determine your very personal wedding dance type. The following wedding dance guide playfully shows you the way to the right style.

As soon as you have your test result in black and white in front of you, you can approach the next steps of your planning much more purposefully. Once you have decided on a style, you should create the appropriate schedule for your wedding dance early on, so that practicing does not turn into stress. A classic Waltz can often be learned in a few weeks, while a complex mashup mix or a coordinated flash mob requires a more intensive preparation time.

In all your planning, do not forget that the dance should above all be fun for both of you. Coordinate closely with your DJ, choose music that tells your story, and adapt your steps to the conditions of your venue. Whether traditional in 3/4 time, cool in street dance style, or as a rousing group activity: your dance sets the emotional highlight that will remain in your guests' memories for a long time. Use your test result as a compass and start your shared adventure in a relaxed way.
