skill level: beginner

Style: Romantic & just plain gorgeous



about this tutorial

The first time I heard Exist for Love by AURORA, I immediately fell in love with it and could not wait to create a beginner-friendly online wedding dance tutorial to it STAT. It’s a recent release (2020) which means it’s practically brand new to the wedding world and is guaranteed to be a song that the majority of your guests have never heard. If you want something unique for your first dance that you’ll get to introduce to your friends and family, this is the song. The lyrics are beautiful, the singing is ethereal and the whole thing just feels intimate and romantic. You’ll learn all the steps in the video above, plus the tutorial includes choreography to the entire song (we shortened it for the promo video), should you feel like embracing your first dance moment fully and completely.

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!
