The bridal world is evolving by leaps and bounds, which is why wedding parties have become more demanding in terms of the chosen venue and wedding decorations. Even the guests are more and more concerned about their wedding dresses and suits, and more than one wants to be surprised with a detail from the bride and groom.

It's no news that most people wait for the moment when the bride and groom dance and give the green light for everyone to head to the dance floor. For that reason, when it happens in a different way, everyone appreciates it and, believe it or not, it ends up being one of the most memorable moments of the celebration.

Although many couples believe that the waltz is the only option, it is still a tradition that many brides and grooms want to keep, but it is not an obligation. Therefore, if you want to break schemes and make a dance where you can use a detachable wedding dress and take off your jacket, you just have to dare because there are many alternatives. Here we suggest some of them, don't be afraid to innovate!

1. Movie dance

The choreography of the bride and groom never fails. This is an idea that it doesn't get tired and it doesn't go out of fashion The guests enjoy watching the bride and groom dancing like true professionals without any modesty. You can bet on a classic movie choreography Something that all generations know, such as Grease, Mamma Mia, La La Land, Saturday Night Fever, Dirty Dancing or why not, for the funniest and most original, some of the choreographies of Shrek.

2. Great classics

Crowne Plaza

Imagine a romantic dance with Can't Help Falling In Love or move to the beat of rock & roll with Jailhouse Rock, both from Elvis Presley .

Although if they want to keep the tradition of a slow dance then go to The Beatles In his discography you will find Love, by John Lennon or Something, by George Harrison. And if you want to try with a choreography that includes your friends then All you need is love is the one.

Are you a country music fan? Ring of fire by Johnny Cash This style is not only a less common option than the rest, but it can also get even the quietest of guests in the mood to dance. You can start with a slower song and then move on to Jackson, from Cash with June Carter. There are many options!

3. Triumphal Entry

The dance floor is opened and inaugurated after the bride and groom have raised their glasses, which makes it even easier to make a grand entrance A good idea is to completely turn off the lights at the event, let there be silence and darkness for a few seconds, and then turn on lights and have them in the centre of the track ready to dance to a song that will make you all move out of your seats. Of course, the free style is very welcome.

4. Reggaeton

5. Hits of the moment

The good thing about fashion songs is that everyone knows them For example, and although it became known in 2017, there is no party or wedding where Despacito is not danced. And the fact is that opting for these songs gives them the assurance that everyone will not only dance to it, but also that they will will sing it at the top of their lungs Among the most current options you will find, for example: Cuando nadie ve, by Morat; Perdón, by David Bisbal and Greeicy or Promises, by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith.

Another alternative is to choose the fashionable theme belonging to your generation Who hasn't danced to Atrévete a amar, from the TV series Adrenalina? A guaranteed hit!

6. As entertainers

You can liven up the party yourself! Before you start dancing, play to be the best entertainers to light up the atmosphere with a couple of microphones and some entertaining words, among these, some love phrases to dedicate to his audience in gratitude. Invite the attendees to dance with you calling them by name so that they feel like protagonists.

7. As a DJ

Set up a turntable with flashy lights and play at being the best and hottest DJ for a while. Plus, this will be a fun wedding decoration that won't go unnoticed. This is sure to surprise your guests and no one will be able to resist dancing to the rhythm of the music played by the bride and groom.

8. To be held

Crowne Plaza

A simpler idea, but one that is sure to energize everyone and will be an excellent way to inaugurate the track is that, when you finish, shake and open a bottle of champagne at the same time that the music of the party begins and challas fall from the sky.

A wedding is made up of many moments, such as cutting the wedding cake or some more solemn ones like the exchange of wedding rings. However, the first dance is one of the most anticipated because that's when all the fun begins.
