“In the end,
nothing we do or say
in this lifetime
will matter as much
as the way we have loved
one another.” ~Daphne Rose Kingman

Ok, I realize this post and the prior post both reference the UK. What can I say, when it comes to music and dance, they’ve always been ahead of the curve…so I’m always watching closely what’s going on over there. Plus, it’s a coincidence that I found this resource right after that video

Here are Britain’s most popular first dance songs according to a UK-Disco poll which polled over 1,300 UK DJs to identify Britain’s Top 10 ‘First Dance’ wedding songs. UK Disco First Dance Song List

Dancing is for everyone! This is just a fantastic example of everyone getting in on the festivities in a big, all out — super cool Way!

I found this video of the bride’s father, brother, brother-in-law and groomsman replicating Ok Go’s (a british band)dance routine to “Here It Goes Again” Fantastic!

I admit, I love working with people who are in love. It just oozes over and fills me up!

I love working with wedding couples (I’ve taught hundreds of them)because they are so in love and such a great reminder of what romance is all about. My motto is — “Dancing is making love to music.” Your wedding dance can be the first step to making love in every area of your life.

One of the things I focus on with couples is to meet each other in their dance (and in life) with a conscious loving touch. Each time you come together to dance their is an opportunity to share the love you feel for each other. There’s a lot to do around wedding planning time, so it’s a great practice to use your dance lessons as a way of connecting on a deeper level.

When you get busy, full of things-to-do and places-to-be. It’s easy to forget the present moment. The dance is a metaphor for everything in life, so I draw a parallel to when you are learning a new step to music and you get so caught up in how to do the step that you grab your partner and just start plowing through it without any conscious awareness of the other person.

Remember each time you touch each other you are communicating. Make it a practice that each time you touch your partner, no matter how small or insignificant a gesture it may seem on the outside that on the inside you are communicating, “I love you, you are precious to me, I appreciate you.” If you get in the habit of this now, you’ll find that each touch you and your partner share for years to come will bring you right back to that special feeling.
