1st Wedding Dance

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and the website.

I'm hoping this is the place for some good advise.

My fiance and I are getting married in a few months. We don't really have a 'our song' but both of us love 'Baby I love you' by the Ramones.

Does anyone know what type of dance would be suitable for this songs rhythm?

I want to be competent, and certainly not shuffle around the floor!

Thanks in advance people.

Fox Trot gets my vote. It's a little too slow for a swing, and just a tad too fast for the Fox Trot, but not so much so that you couldn't have it looking nice.
I would even consider intertwining moves more common in the Country Two-Step, just to spice it up a bit. Otherwise, an American Smooth Fox Trot, with a traveling step along LOD, a box step, some promenades, some simple turns and maybe a grapevine or some continuity steps would work well, depending on your skill level. Grapevine is a little tougher when considering the wedding dress, however, so maybe nix that notion. The SideSway in Fox Trot would really work well to this song. Check the video clip demonstration for that step on this site to see what you think. Good song choice, though, in my opinion.

Great song. We do a lot of wedding dances in our area. This song is actually a Hustle - a little slow, but a Hustle nonetheless. You could do the East Coast Swing to it, because it is slower - 1-2, 3-a-4, 5-a-6 rhythm is there. I definitely would not do a Foxtrot or Country Two Step to it. Best of luck to you.
