My Aunt is getting married in July. She wants me to teach her a dance. I said ok and she told me what song. All My Life. I don't know what dance they could do that too.... any ideas...

Could you provide the artist and/or version of the song?

Kci & Jojo and its the original version

It's tough because it's one of those songs that's good for couples just to hold each other and sway back and forth in place.

I would do either int. rumba or bolero, but those require good technique, or their not really worth doing. Often times, other posters to this board will recommend something called Night Club Waltz to those slow 4/4 numbers. I don't have a clue what that dance is (only that it's not a waltz). Check out the forum on wedding dances, and read the comments about NC waltz to see if you can pick up some ideas from there.

Good luck.

It is called Night Club Two step, it is danced to slow ballad type songs. It is not that easy to learn. It is a very pretty dance that flows, vines turns etc. can be a difficult as many ballroom dances. QQS is the rhthm in closed position. Kind of and this is a very loose discription - a rock step side. Not that easy to learn. Very pretty. I might suggest a step touch type slow dance if they need something easy and fast to learn. Not under the ballroom dances again, more of a club dance.

Once again, I'd say try the Nightclub 2-step. Don't know if they really do call it NC Waltz, but NC2step is what I've been taught. It's very simple to learn, you can toss in turns if you want to, and it can be as fancy or as light and simple as you want.

NC 2Step and Night Club Waltz are different dances.

We started a new wedding group today.

They requested foxtrot and waltz but mentioned friends who were just married did a special dance.

We demo'ed fox, waltz and Night Club Waltz.

"That's the one! That's the one we want to learn!"

How it ever came to be called Nightclub Waltz I'll never know. It's rythm dancing in 4/4 at it's simplest. Everything is a "slow".

Here's a link to a video called more properly "Slow Dance" instead of Nightclub Waltz. (Much, much easier to learn)

This song is in 4/4 timing, just very slow, so a foxy would be fine. In a foxy the man takes two forward steps and sways to the right and left leading the woman to do the same. You could do promenade with an outside turn, you could also insert a crossover like rumba or cha-cha, and also a box counted in 1-2-3 timing with an underarm turn. The dance will turn out great! good luck!~

Just to add:

Night Club 2 Step is likely danced to faster music than "Slow Dance" (aka Night Club Waltz).

NC2 also mixes quicks and slows while NCW is primarily slows.
