Barn Wedding Dance Ideas

Is your idea of romance filled with exposed wood beams and a rustic farmhouse?  If you prefer the sweet smell of hay over the not-so-sweet smell of smog, then a Rustic Barn Wedding may be just your thing.  Fortunately, we have helped many new wedding couples with a first dance, in a barn, that doesn't look anything like a "barn dance".  

Wedding in a Barn Dance #1:  Waltz

Add a nice touch of sophistication to your wedding with this all time classic, the Waltz.  It is the oldest of all the ballroom dances, and the sweeping movements can make a couple look like they are gliding across any dance floor - even one with a little hay on it.  

Song Ideas

  • The Tennessee Waltz - An all time country classic
  • Earth - Gladiator Soundtrack
  • When You Ever Really Loved a Woman - Bryan Adams

Wedding in a Barn Dance #2:  Swing 

Whether your Barn Wedding is for your love of Country Western, or just "the country", the Swing can serve both purposes.  It's upbeat, fun, and can help you survive any wedding - including your own.  

Song Ideas

  • Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
  • Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy - Big N Rich
  • The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and the News

Wedding in a Barn Dance #3:  Foxtrot 

This dance will be, and should be, in every list of potential dances for your wedding.  It's an easy wedding upgrade that's even easier to learn - not to mention that it's as versatile as your favorite pair of jeans. 

Song Ideas

  • Moondance - Van Morrison
  • The Best is Yet to Come - Michael Buble
  • A Penny a Kiss
