Wedding Dance

My fiance and I would like to practice our first dance before the wedding. We've found plenty of instructional videos on Waltzing and two-stepping, but I'm not sure which we should use for our song? We've chosen The Rolling Stones' rendition of "That's how strong my love is"

Is this a waltz or a two-step, or something else? Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks

Rolling Stones - That's how strong my love is

Hey Seanzy,
This song is great I love the Stones. My best advice to you is to go with a nightclub 2 step.... As for waltz, its super fast!!! even for a V. waltz.... Have fun with it and congrats!!!

Your best bet would be to take lessons at a ballroom dance studio (as opposed to a video). Let them know it is for a wedding- they usually have discounted wedding packages, and you'd like a routine that fits your song. You would want to do this months in advance- if you wait to the last minute, you will be too busy getting everything else ready and it could strain your relationship. Enjoy it!

I listened to it and think it's fine for a wedding dance. I would also agree that you should seek lessons from a dance instructor who can best guide you and choreograph a custom dance for you. The cost of a few lessons are well worth it.

As with all the previous posts I agree with it being a two step. I think it is far too fast for a VW! Enjoy your wedding day and all the best for the future :)

Good timing for a Night Club 2-step in the Ballroom or Swing style. Too fast for CW (UCWDC) style.

We do not like to teach NC2 as first dance because it's too much of a directional dance. If you start off East-West it takes effort to change the direction. That makes it hard for the guests to see all sides of the dance.

Sorry, can't hear any Waltz timing at all.
