When deciding what you want your first dance song to be, it may be helpful to decide upon a genre first. Think about the vibe you want to convey: upbeat, sappy, classic, romantic? Deciding what dance style you are comfortable doing in front of a crowd may also help narrow down your list. If you find that you and your future spouse have different tastes in music, you may want to consider R&B. Featuring undeniable soul and lyrical sensuality, R&B is a crowd favorite across the board. Whether you want something nostalgic, old school, or contemporary, there is bound to be an option that will perfectly suit you and your loved one’s special moment.
