Any married folks in the house? My 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up—which got me thinking about our first dance. We took some lessons, and aside from a few missteps that only we noticed, it was beautiful. Especially for 2 people with a lack of rhythm 3 generations deep.
I remember looking for dance instructors. We didn’t want anything over the top. Just a few pointers to let us do more than that little penguin dance where you rock back and forth.
It was tough to find someone who offered just that.
…Well, most instructors did offer just that, but they didn’t market it correctly.
I did a quick search today and I’m happy to report that there are several instructors that showed up for first dance wedding lessons. Some get it right. But I thought it would be interesting to go more future-husband specific.
So, I hopped in the way back machine and remembered what I was looking for. Nothing crazy. Just a few steps to give us a perfect first dance. (And maybe make me not look like that scene in Young Frankenstein.)

Overall: I like this list. It felt personal and dialed in to my specific pain. Of course, I’m too close to say if this would work for all men, but I’d be really curious to hear your feedback.
Lessons: Maybe it’s the nostalgia factor, but reading this puts me back in the shoes of a nervous groom-to-be with 2 left feet. The funny thing is, I struggled super hard with this one. Just goes to show you that a little pain goes a long way.
Time: 3 sessions over 1:20
