Selecting Your Music

When selecting the music for your first dance, Julee and Dave recommend choosing a song with the following characteristics:

Moderate tempo
Slower is not always easier.
Strong rhythm section
Audible bass and drums will help you hear the tempo.
Song length 2.5 - 3.5 minutes
Perfect for showing off without boring guests.
4/4 Time
This is time signature of most popular and standard tunes.

"Never Before" was written specifically for Dancing Together as a fantastic example of music which will show off your dancing. Julee and Dave use this throughout the entire DVD for both the practice exercises and sample dances.

You can use "Never Before" for your first dance as well.

Selecting Your Song
In selecting your first dance song, you may follow the guidelines above, or you may select a song that is special to the two of you. The steps and patterns taught in the DVD are "adjustable". Simply speed up or slow down the pace of your "walking" to match the pace and feel of your music.

In listening to your music, if you feel that counting to 4 feels awkward, you may have selected a Waltz. If counting to 3 repeatedly feels like it better matches your music, you did select a waltz. Just email us for our suggestion for an instructional Waltz DVD.
