To slow dance at a wedding, start by asking your partner to dance and gently get into position with one hand on each other's shoulders or waist and your free hands clasped at about eye level. Then, listen to the music and sway gently back and forth in time with the beat. Keep your movements relaxed and comfortable, avoid stepping on your partner's toes, and you can add simple turns or dips if you feel confident. The key is to enjoy the moment, maintain eye contact, smile, and move with harmony to create a memorable and graceful slow dance experience at the wedding.
