💃 3 First Dance Mistakes Couples Don’t Realize They’re Making

(Until It’s Too Late to Fix Them)

Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon!  :-)

Your first dance is supposed to be magical. Romantic. A “Pinterest-worthy” moment that gets your guests misty-eyed and your photographer snapping like paparazzi.

But here’s the thing no one tells you—one tiny mistake can turn that dreamy moment into an awkward shuffle you’ll never want to watch back.

As a wedding DJ, I’ve seen it all… and trust me, these 3 mistakes are way more common than you think.

Mistake #1: Picking a Song That’s Way Too Long

I get it—you love the song. It’s your song. But if it’s a 6-minute ballad and you don’t have a choreographed routine… well… that’s a lot of swaying in a circle while your guests check their phones.

💡 Pro tip: We can make a custom edit so your first dance feels perfect, not endless.

Mistake #2: Forgetting to Test the Dance Floor

Your first time stepping onto that floor shouldn’t be in front of 150 people. Maybe your shoes slip. Maybe the dress is trickier to move in than you thought. Maybe you discover the floor has a slight slope.

💡 Pro tip: Sneak in a quick practice the day before—or at least during cocktail hour—to avoid surprise stumbles.

Mistake #3: Not Thinking About the Transition

Your first dance shouldn’t just… end. Going from sweet and romantic to “uh… what now?” is the quickest way to kill the vibe.

💡 Pro tip: Have your DJ kick straight into an upbeat track right after to pull your guests onto the floor. That way the energy goes up, not off.

FOMO Is Real

Here’s the part couples don’t realize until it’s too late—these little details are the difference between a first dance everyone remembers… and one they remember for the wrong reasons.

The couples who work with me? They get custom song edits, perfect timing, smooth transitions, and a packed dance floor before the first chorus ends.
