My wedding is coming up and my fiance and I are dancing to the Bebe and Cece song, close to you. I need to know the best dance for this song and if someone could tell me the count. Thank you.

Zanetta,

It is a 4/4 and there are several dances you could easily use. I think it would make a lovely Rumba. You should go to a ballroom professional and have them choreograph something for you.

I know alot of people come onto the site and ask what dance they should do for their weddings based on the song they like. I think it's a sweet idea, but you need to know more than just the name of the dance you want to do.

You want this to look good, and you want whatever you dance to flow to the song. You aren't going to get that without paying someone to put it together for you. Even if someone here gives you a nice list of moves that would work well you aren't going to be able to execute them like you want. Even the people who have danced for a long time can misunderstand a step.

I know it isn't the answer you are looking for. In the meantime alot of the chains and so on specialize in wedding dances and some will cut you a deal. You can also go to almost any independent studio and find someone there who can put something nice together for you.

It's what I would do and what I would suggest to anyone I cared about. Good luck with your wedding. Good luck with your dancing.

That's good advice from belleofyourballroom. Especially with this song, which again is terrific for its message but poses some challenges for a dance.
It is a slow song, so even though it is at 4/4 measure, the bars per minute are less than what you might like to see in most dances.
However, a professional instructor can help you figure that out, in terms of maybe a DJ speeding it up just a tad. It would make a terrific rumba -- if you are really comfortable and have the right movement, lines and flow in your arms, etc. for a very slow song.
Hopefully someone will help you, rather than dismiss the song out of hand, which happens a lot. It is a very cool song and I can see why you'd want to dance to it.
