Wedding Dance Ideas that are Perfect for a Barn Wedding

Most brides find rustic wedding themes to be a wonderful idea for their wedding. Not everyone is impressed with the chandeliers. Luxurious flower settings and a mile-high cake with multiple tiers and 7 different types of frosting might not be you.

If you are the kind of person who wants their wedding to look rustic, consider a Barn Wedding.

It can be personal and it can feel like something out of a fairytale.

A theme that is all about exposed wooden beams. Hays stacks that are artfully arranged around the reception area.

The wedding ceremony can take place under the sky, among some friends. Or surrounded by flowers with candles lining the aisle. A barn wedding theme is quite easy to arrange.

And if you are worried about the budget, this can help you take that worry off your shoulders.

The sweet smell of hay. The rustic charm of checkered tablecloth. The buffet style dining with a huge dance floor in the middle. A dream of many couples.

If you are one of them, then we can assure you that your guests will probably enjoy the barn wedding more than a city wedding.

Wedding Dance for Barn Weddings

When you are thinking about going with a barn-wedding theme, consider that your average dance routine might not set the right mood for your wedding guests. If you are head strong, then you can go for a formal dance routine that is generally more suitable for a hotel ballroom rather than a charming barn.

If you want an original dance routine and if you are lucky enough to be able able to travel to one of their studios, I’d highly recommend the First Dance Academy.

However, if you do want to conform to the theme in all regards, then here are a few dances that are perfect for a barn wedding.

A Waltz

If you grew up watching Disney movies, (I mean who hasn’t?) then you are probably already in love with this kind of dance.

A waltz will add a sophisticated touch to your otherwise charming but low-key wedding. It is an all time classic for a very good reason. It adds a touch of drama. Although it is the oldest interpretation of a ballroom dance. The sweeping motions will allow the couple to glide on the dance floor, which is perfect for a first dance.

If you are confused about which songs will go perfectly with this theme, then look no further. “The Tennessee Waltz”, “When You Ever Really Loved a Woman” by Bryan Adams. Or “Earth” by Gladiator Soundtrack are some amazing choices to perform a waltz.

Swing

When you want your wedding to represent the country vibe that you love so much, then a country theme is perfect for a first dance.

A swing is a type of dance that is fun to perform. Its upbeat vibe will give everyone energy, making them look forward to the rest of the evening.

“Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison, “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News and “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” by Big N Rich are some songs that will go well with the swing dance.

Foxtrot

To some, it might sound like the name of an herb or an old medicine. However, this is a type of a dance which is often selected by couples who are looking to perform a wedding dance themselves.

It is quite easy to perform and learn. The steps are easy to memorise and rehearse.

Also you can customise it according to your personality. “Moondance” by Van Morrison, “A Penny a Kiss” and “The Best is Yet to Come” by Michael Buble are some upbeat songs. They will conform well with the Foxtrot dance routine.
