Wedding Dancing: Choreographing Your First Dance? Take This Quiz

Whether you can’t dance to save your life or you’re expecting a call from Dancing With the Stars any day now, take the quiz and find out (and watch a video of!) which choreographed first-dance routine is right for you.

1. The thought of cutting a rug in front of 100-plus of your closest family and friends makes you feel:

A little nauseous. And dizzy. And…maybe you should sit down.
You get a few butterflies, but nothing your favorite dance partner can’t soothe.
As long as you get plenty of practice, it’s no sweat.
Not only are you okay with it, you want it filmed and on YouTube within the hour.

2. What wardrobe changes are you planning for your reception?

You’ll ditch the veil, but that’s it.
You might put your hair up or add in a few sparkly accessories.
You love the idea of adding a colorful sash or some funky jewelry.
You’ve already got a shorter dress for the reception and an outfit for your exit!

3. What is your dream bachelorette party?

A nice dinner with your closest female family and friends is exactly your speed.
Cocktails and tapas at a swanky spot downtown, but nothing too wild.
Dancing at a club with your girls -- and, yes, you’ll wear the “Bride” sash!
Vegas, baby! An over-the-top destination party is exactly the send-off you need.

4. What is your essential wedding day accessory?

The pearl earrings from your grandmother -- they’re beautifully understated.
The diamond pendant he gave you for your first anniversary -- for a little glitz.
A pair of heels in your favorite bright color.
You hate picking just one, but you need your bold, black feather fascinator!

5. How did you announce your engagement?

The old-fashioned way: excited phone calls to your nearest and dearest.
You called your family, but a stylish save-the-date went to long-distance guests.
Two words: engagement party! What better way to show off the ring?
You directed and starred in a video re-enactment of the proposal!

6. Which wedding-ready tune gets you in the mood for dancing?

Um…dancing? I’ll just watch, thanks.
“The Electric Slide,” “The Macarena,” -- anything where you know the steps.
Good-time classics (think: The Beatles or Journey) always get you grooving.
Modern hits like Lady Gaga and The Black Eyed Peas keep you on the dance floor.

7. What are you doing for your honeymoon?

You’re staying at a nearby bed-and-breakfast and taking it easy.
You’re going to an all-inclusive resort where you’ll snorkel and hang by the pool.
You’re hopping a flight to Europe or South America for museums and culture.
You’re taking a once-in-a-lifetime trip (an African safari or cycling across Ireland).

8. What are you most looking forward to on your wedding day (besides marrying the love of your life, of course!)?

Honestly? The wedding being over so that you can settle into married life.
Seeing how it all comes together from the flowers to the reception dinner.
The toasts -- it’ll be fun to see what everyone comes up with.
Your grand entrance at the ceremony -- you can’t wait for everyone to see you!

9. How would you describe your dancing skills?

You know the saying “two left feet”? The person who coined it meant you.
You have some rhythm, but you won’t be on stage anytime soon.
You hold your own -- and you’re usually having too much fun to notice missteps.
Dancing With the Stars should be calling you any day now.

10. How does your fiance feel about being the center of attention?

His palms get sweatier than yours.
He’d rather not, but he’ll put on a good face.
He doesn’t hog the spotlight, but his sense of humor can keep a room in stitches.
Are you kidding? Give the guy an audience and he’s never been happier.
