For the bride and groom it can be the most nerve-racking moment of the day—but it needn’t be. Melissa Twigg speaks to the pros about how to take the missteps out of that memorable first dance.

Make a Move

It should be the most romantic experience of your life. The moment you fantasise about when you’re 15, picturing an absurdly handsome man gazing into your eyes as you waltz around the room to the perfect song, your guests bursting into spontaneous applause at the drama and beauty of it all.

But the reality, well, that can turn out a little differently. From grooms shuffling awkwardly across the dance floor with a stricken expression on their face to brides with wardrobe malfunctions, it is all too easy to turn from blushing bride to blushing with embarrassment. In fact, a quick browse on the Mail Online reveals the seemingly infinite ways a first dance can go disastrously wrong: a groom accidently kicking his new wife in the head as they attempt a back flip, for example, or a bride breaking her ankles as they try to recreate the Dirty Dancing lift.

Luckily we’re here to ensure that, firstly, the paramedics won’t number among your guests, and secondly, you won’t audibly howl with embarrassment when your maid of honour sends you a clip captioned “The First Dance.” Here are the rules according to Hong Kong Tatler.

DO be realistic about your dancing ability
