What makes for a good slow dance song?

Slow dance songs that make for good dance songs are the ones that are a love story.  They have plenty of emotion and tug at the heartstrings.  Slow songs that are known by most of your guests will also fill the dance floor as it is a song they recognize.

What is the longest slow dance song?

The longest slow dance songs include “Starway To Heaven” by Led Zeppelin, “American Pie” by Don McLean and “Paradise By The Dashboard Lights” by Meatloaf.  However, you must consider the amount of time you want to take up for each song for your reception.

How do you hold your hands during slow dancing?

Most couples who do not feel comfortable dancing has the man holding the woman’s waist and the woman holding the man’s shoulders.  However, in slow ballroom dance, the couples hold hands left/right with the other holding the other’s waist.
