First Dance Songs

Choose the perfect song for your first dance as a married couple

Your first dance represents one of the most special and emotional moments of your wedding day. The appropriate song selection, lighting, and atmosphere can create something memorable for you, your guests, and your wedding photos.

Steven Heyns has helped couples across Durban, the Midlands and KZN create unforgettable first dances for more than 20 years.

Lighting and Atmosphere for Your First Dance

Music establishes the tone, but lighting creates the magic. The DJ designs lighting setups that frame the dance floor beautifully and enhance photos and videos. Features include:

  • Soft uplighting to create a romantic glow
  • Moving head spotlights to highlight the couple on the dance floor
  • Colour-coordinated washes that match your wedding theme

Dancing on the Clouds

For couples desiring a truly unforgettable first dance, a low fog effect creates the illusion of dancing on clouds. It looks incredible in person and photographs beautifully, making your first dance even more cinematic.

Choreography

For couples in the Durban area, Kim Pienaar comes highly recommended to help you create a first dance you'll remember. Check out @firstdancestudiokim on Instagram.

Choosing the Perfect First Dance Song

Over the last couple of years, couples have been choosing a wide variety of songs rather than a single standout hit. The most important factor is selecting a song that reflects your story.

Services include song selection guidance, version editing if needed, or creating seamless mixes starting slow then surprising guests with something upbeat.
