GO bi g
WITH YOUR
FIRST DANCE
Take your dance floor debut to the next
level by showing off some one-of-a-kind
moves, whether that means giving someone
else the spotlight or choreographing a
Dirty Dancing–worthy number—lift optional.
Just let the rhythm of the day decide.
BREAK IT DOWN
DIANE + JJ DENVER
Not a big dancer?
Hire local performers
to take the stage.
“We wanted to give back to our community, so we asked kid dancers
from the School of Breaking to take on our first dance,” Diane
says. “The school inspires kids through the power of music and dance.”

PASS THE MIC
DRE + DAN LOS ANGELES
“We surprised my parents by giving them our first
dance, complete with a serenade,” Dre says. “My
mom and dad eloped over 30 years ago due to racial
tensions and never got that big, white wedding
of their own, so it was our gift of gratitude to them.”
RAISE THE ROOF
NOAH + PJ EARLTON, NY
“We really wanted to surprise everyone,” Noah says. “The video of
our dance, which included a Dirty Dancing lift, went viral, and the
proceeds allowed us to donate $40,000 to the It Gets Better Project.”
JOYFUL NOISE TURN YOUR PREWEDDING DANCE
LESSONS INTO FUN DATE NIGHTS—THAT SHOULD
HELP FIGHT ANY STAGE FRIGHT.
