As the text on their homepage states, "We won't wear you out with months of dance lessons. We'll teach you one amazing dance based on your personal style."
How fun would that be? It opens up so many choices beyond the Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole classics!
But what to choose?
Something soulful yet offbeat like the Velvet Underground's "I'll Be Your Mirror"?
Funny and irreverent such as Social Distortion's "Ball and Chain"?
The swooning, heart pounding, wall of sound with The Ronette's "Be My Baby"?
Or the elegant, simplicity of Dave Edmund's rendition of "Baby I Love You"?
No matter what, I learned one thing at our wedding years ago. If you ask the band not to play "The Chicken Dance," they still will. It's a party favorite and, to its credit, at least it's not as degrading to the bride as the wedding standby, "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." I think that number only works well when your bridesmaids are wearing open back, plus size, cocktail dresses that prominently display their full-back tattoos.
I might just pick the following . . .

How about Madonna's "Like a Virgin"? Heeheehee...
Our Elvis impersonator sang "Hawaiian Wedding Song" to us for our first dance...it was very sweet, but not nearly as funny as "Suspicious Minds" would have been!
He sang me down the aisle to "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You."
Of course you had an Elvis song! Such a good Presleytarian you are :)
