Before you stress about your two left feet, it’s important to remember that wedding dance floor etiquette is not about knowing how to perfectly ace the waltz or foxtrot. Simply put, it’s about knowing when you can hit the floor to bust a move. Have a look at the order of dances at a wedding.

Assuming it’s a traditional wedding with the ‘usual’ dance order here’s how it goes:
Obviously the newly wed couple will take to the floor first. They will share their first dance together as a married couple. It is usually quite a sweet and romantic moment. They choose a special song that means something to them along with a dance.
Next the bride will dance with her father. It can be quite emotional so get the tissues ready!
Then the mother of the bride will dance with the groom followed by the brides parents, who will take to the floor for a spin or two.
The groom will sway away with his own mother thereafter.
His parents can then share a moment and then finally the guests can join in and shake a leg.
It’s important to note that this order can be changed and does not have to be followed. Edit it how you want to suit you and your partners desires.
If you’re a guest just remember not to step on the dance floor when it’s the couple’s first dance. Keep an eye out in case you recognise the above mentioned order and when you get the go ahead show them what your two left feet are made of!
