Lifetime by Justin Bieber
Wedding First Dance Choreography Tutorial
skill level: beginner
Style: simple & sweet (with optional “wow” moments)
ABOUT THIS TUTORIAL
Lifetime by Justin Bieber is a nearly perfect first dance song for several reasons. The lyrics are quite lovely and are definitely wedding-appropriate since wedding couples get married with the intention - God willing - of being with “the one” for a lifetime. The song structure is also great because it allows you to cut the dance in half very easily if you don’t want to dance to the whole song. But it’s also easy to dance to the whole song because you can repeat steps at certain repeating parts in the music, and this makes it super simple to LEARN this dance and REMEMBER it, especially if you are short on time.
This tutorial will teach you how to execute all the beginner-friendly steps in the video above, and includes multiple optional enhancements that you can incorporate if you so choose. When you enroll, you’ll learn how to hold each other and how to start moving to the music and build up your skills to moving around the floor, twirling and ending with a dip or a lift. Even if you are an absolute beginner, you can learn this choreography QUICKLY and look and feel amazing during your first dance.

Of yourse I’m going to say 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-to-learn wedding dance tutorial that exists online, IMHO. 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.

This tutorial takes the average beginner couple 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!

You’ll have access for a year from the date of purchase. You don’t need a year to learn, and most couples do all their learning in a compressed time frame once they feel the pressure of their looming wedding date. But I want you to be able to enroll when it makes sense for you and work on this at your leisure, without worrying about any dates except your wedding date. Wedding planning is stressful! Learning to dance is supposed to be fun!
