Any dancers?

cpasquale · February 2012

I am in LOVE with the song "You" by Chris Young, and it is on top of my list for options for our first dance. The only issue is, it is a little bit more fast-paced than other songs we have thought about.

We plan to take dance lessons this summer so that we can have fun with it and actually know what we are doing. Is there anyone that knows anything about ballroom dancing that can take a listen to the song and see if it is something that will be dance-able without us looking like idiots??

Thanks!!!

I am a swing dancer and a lindy hopper. It's not ballroom, but it's considered a facet of it and I am somewhat familiar with ballroom dancing as I have taken classes in the past.

You could definitely do a quick waltz or a jitterbug to this song. It's got the right beat to it. I can tell you too, that a swing dance would work as well. Good luck! If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! I LOVE LOVE LOVE dancing!!

I love to dance but I have no training or style lol
I'm really looking forward to our family sessions for our family routine

I think you can dance to pretty much anything; if you can feel the music, you can move to it

if you want to do ballroom dance to this song a fox trot or a waltz. Yes it is a little fast paced then normal but waltz can be slightly fast that is a common misconception. Since you are taking dance lessons that instructor should be able to come up with a great choreographed ballroom dance routine for your and your FH. Those two dances would be my suggestion if you want to dance ballroom to chris young-it is a beautiful song.

If you have any other dance questions just let me know I grew up dancing all styles of dance and I currently work for a professional dance company. The one thing I tell people is relax and have fun with it.

Thanks ladies! It's good to know that I do have options

I'll show up to my dance lesson with a backup in case it doesn't work out or we can't keep up with the fast pace. I just love this song and it fits us perfectly!

I agree- but while watching myself in the mirror at zumba, I'm realizing I'm not as good as I thought I was.

FI and I might fast 2 step- if we can agree on a song. And if I can get him to practice with me. He doesn't like to dance with me because I step on his feet :(

I love to dance and get low! Going out and dancing to hip hop music is so much fun. It is my way of stress relief. I took some dance as a kid but nothing real special. My FI loves to dance but he is a big country person. I would love to take a swing class but we really don't have time.

I cant dance to save my LIFE! We're going to need at least 24 lessons!

FI got me dance lessons for my birthday. They are really pretty fun and as long as you bring the song to your lessons I'm sure the instructor can help you find the perfect dance.

Any dancers?
