CHOOSING MUSIC
Websites/Apps with Song Suggestions:
- Fontaine Dance's Wedding Song Suggestions - a pretty lengthy list of possible first wedding songs, along with suggested dance styles, artist & album names
- LA Wedding Dance Song Suggestions - also a lengthy list of songs, with artist: options for first dance, father-daughter, and mother-son
- Waltz Song Suggestions - if you'd like to learn the waltz, take a look at this list. It's geared towards social dancing/competition (rather than wedding) music but the list is quite long and has some good possibilities
- DancePicker - A nifty app I've just discovered. It's for finding out what dance you can do to your favorite song, what songs would work for your preferred dance style (and tempo), and you can add filters for wedding/holiday/etc. This seems really useful; I'll update when I've had some time to use it. COST - $1.00
