Wedding Dance Songs and Wedding First Dance Songs For 2012

This is a list of the wedding dance songs By Your Side Dance Studio students have brought to us this year to choreograph their first dance to.  If you are searching for YOUR first dance wedding songs, I hope this list will help jump start and guide your search.  I’ve also listed dance styles that can work with each dance.

Many times couples come in with a wedding song that doesn’t really have a beat but the song has a lot of meaning to them.  That’s okay!  With our personalized wedding dance lessons we can custom choreograph wedding dance moves to ANY song.  It doesn’t have to be a specific dance.  By Your Side Dance Studio teachers are great at this!  Leave it to us. Our wedding dance lessons in Los Angeles are fun and relaxing and we will make you look phenomenal on the dance floor.

Also, keep coming back to check the First Dance Wedding Songs 2012 list because I will update it every few days!
