When it comes to your first dance together the pressure can be on for the groom to whisk his bride around the dance floor, or at very least something other than rocking back and forth awkwardly. But, is it up to him to step up and learn some moves to make the dance more memorable? Here’s what we think.

Yes, the groom does need to know a couple of moves to successfully dance with his bride however, the bride also needs to know the same moves for this plan to actually work well. If only one person learns some dance moves, the other person remains in the dark and unsure of how to move with them. Both the bride and groom need to learn a few simple steps together to enjoy their bridal dance. Keep in mind though guys that being the one to instigate this does come with its perks of course.
