This was awesome! Very helpful to my fiance and I. We decided to go with Smother Me by The Used – a much loved band and song between the two of us. I'd really love to do a romantic sway into a dramatic waltz at the crescendo, and your guys' video really helped me to envision what that might look like.

We choose Aerosmith.. I don't wanna miss a thing. However we are beginners. Wondering if it's a good option..

“Come away with me”
But I’m still trying to hear the difference between 3/4 and 4/4. A lot of hearing loss.

How would you classify MarioBros underwater theme song? Any tips? It's a unusual song, I know 😂

It's a head scratcher, but we chose "Nights in White Satin"- Moody Blues. I'm nervous as I'm a bit of a klutz who messes up turns as I tend to go faster….any tips?

Thank you so much for this video! My future husband and I are wanting to do Perfect For Me by Bradley Marshall. After watching this video I am not sure if that is a good pick 😬

We’d love to use Ed Sheeran Collide as it means a lot but not sure if it’s too fast for us beginners! Any tips on using it? We love your videos – they’ve helped so much!

Love your videos! I’m getting married in a couple months and we are thinking about Only To Be With You by Judah and the Lion! We’ll probably have to shorten it or perhaps invite other couples to join in. Not sure 🤷‍♀️

I just found your channel and I love it. Here is one of the most amazing songs and I will pick it if I ever get married: You're the last thing I needed tonight" by John Schneider. I would love your thoughts on it. Seems like a great waltz.

Hi! I'm trying to pick a wedding first dance song and I am thinking of the song "Cinema with a cover by Jason Evigman." Is this a difficult wedding song to dance to? Please help!!

I know this video is older so I don't know if you'll answer but we are unsure if "the Dawn" by Fuslie would work. We absolutly loove the song but aren't sure if it's to hard. Really hope you'll answer and maybe have a tip for us

Hello, we want to combine two songs en styles. At first we want to start with a piece of the song Metellica – Nothing else Matters, and end with more upbeat hiphop moves on chuckberry – Next to you. But we are struggeling because we dont have any dance experience.

Hello! My fiancé and I are considering doing a medley with beauty and the beast and I see the light (Disney songs)… what are your thoughts on a medley? Is 2 songs enough or should we include a 3rd one? Love your channel!

Hello! I am so glad I found your channel! Me and my fiance wanted to have a dance that started off slow and swaying and then surprise all of our guests when the music picked up with some simple but impactful choreography. I really loved the song "Falling in Love" by Cody Fry and I would love to know your thoughts on it! We are both beginners.

Love this video, so helpful. We're thinking about doing "You make loving fun" by fleetwood mac. I think it would be so fun to dance to but I feel like there's a few speed changes and instrument solos that would be awkward. We also want to switch into some salsa or bachata and I'm unsure about the mashup.

My fiancé and I are loving your videos 😍 we are wanting to use "you're still the one" by shania twain

Hi! Thank you for a great video! I’m glad I found your channel 😀

I’m considering ”Rise up my love” by Season Songs (avaliable on Spotify). I love the lyrics. Also it’s a waltz so it gives the wedding vibes, even if I think we’ll go for a more chill approach to the beat and not feel obligated to do three steps on every 1-2-3. That would probably be stressful. What do you think of the song? Anything to have in mind if we choose it? (Me and my fiancé both have some dance experience.)

It’s very long so if we choose it we might use a cut version, or invite the guests to join somewhere in the middle of the song.

Thanks! This is the video that helped me the most! Quick question: in which category would you place Elton John’s Your Song? I feel it’s quite in the middle of everything.
