Start practicing at least three months before your wedding day. With all that will be going on, you
won't have as much time to practice as the big day nears.
Keep your eyes off the floor or you'll end up with a lot of wedding photos of the top of your head!
Find out how large or small your dance floor is going to be so you can practice accordingly.
Decide ahead of time how and where you will be entering the dance floor.
Brides should practice in a long dress similar to their wedding dress or the slip to their wedding
dress. You don't want to end up stepping all over it during your first dance.
Grooms should practice in their tux jacket or a similar jacket. See how well you can lift your arms
and also practice keeping your shoulders down and relaxed so you don't end up with your shoulder pads in your ears.
Practice in your wedding shoes at least a few times before the big day. Women can cover their shoes
with socks or a low tack tape to prevent scuffing. Men should put Vaseline on the inside edges of their shoes if they are patent leather. Otherwise, they will stick when you dance and you might trip.
Most of all, remember to relax, smile and have a good time!
