Slow Waltz Music for a wedding first dance
Posted by SalsaRod

Hi

Two friends are getting married soon and are just learning the slow Waltz for their first dance. They would really like to dance to Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis but this is V Waltz rather than slow waltz. Does anyone know if this is available in 3/4 timing or do you have any other suggestions?

Many Thanks.

Thanks. I did consider that one but its quite a complicated beat to pick up and with them being new to dancing they need something with a stronger beat. I've been dancing a while and I find I find it hard to find the 1,2,3 beat.

Oh man they played a painfully slow one last Sat night at the dance. It's an old song, but really pretty. I'm not sure of the name - it could be something like - A Time To Remember.

I do agree, it is difficult. I'm sure you'll come up with something. Since tastes vary I'll mention one that I have used for a showcase. It is called "Dark Waltz" and the artist I like is Hayley Westenra. I find the lyrics quite moving but the minor key may not make it a choice to this situation. Good luck

That is a beautiful song I agree. But as you say it is difficult for a wedding dance. I may seem old fashioned, but I think there is no better first Waltz than Nat King Cole's 'Fascination.' Beautiful lyric and easy to dance to and a perfect Waltz! Good luck!

Yes, I agree with Fascination by Nat King Cole. Fabulous music and lyrics. I will suggest that one although I suspect they wanted something more contemporary. Thanks.

More contemporary? "Fascination" by Cole and "Can't Help Falling . . ." by Presley were recorded 2 or 3 years apart, over 50 years ago.

Fair point. The Elvis track has special meaning to my friends and as they cannot dance to that I think they were hoping for something more recent. They are new to ballroom dancing and I think that in time they will come to appreciate the classics more.

Try "Dark Waltz" - Hayley Westerna or "Nocturne" from A Secret Garden.
Both are beautiful, moving pieces.
