Wedding First Dance Choreography Tutorial
skill level: beginner
Style: sweet & romantic
about this tutorial
Conversations In The Dark by John Legend is the sleeper hit first dance song of 2020 and this really took off in popularity after that. Why? The lyrics are so romantic and sweet, John Legend’s voice is well, legendary, and the music video makes me want to cry! It feels sentimental, but not sappy. Romantic, but real. The tempo is a little on the quicker side, but you can always modify the steps to move slower to the music if you need to. I’ve also included multiple options for shortening the dance if you don’t feel like dancing to a four minute song. You will learn all the movements in the video above including how to put it together with the music, while also learning all my tips and tricks for how to look and feel natural during your dance. Enrolling takes all the stress and guesswork out of it so you can enjoy your first dance (and the learning process) 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 approximately three to four 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!
Love the idea, don’t love the song?
