Spring is in the air and we all know what that means: wedding season! All over the globe brides and grooms to be are sweating over their first dance, that, usually, extremely awkward moment where the newlyweds have to hobble along to an inappropriately sappy song under the scrutiny of all their assorted loved ones. If only they’d practiced… But who has time to take classes? Well, with this new app, you won’t need to take classes, you don’t even have to be on the same continent to practice!

As the Dancing with the Stars-bug is sweeping the nation, you need some moves! The Dance Steps App won’t make you Jennifer Grey (or Patrick Swayze) over night, as the moves are a bit too basic for that, but it will give you a head start. The app has a selection of different dances, such as salsa, rumba, waltz, all very basic, and it shows you which steps to take (red for girls, black is for boys). Apart from the feet, there’s music and there are helpful tips in little white balloons, such as “Body weight on left foot, right foot on toes”.

I did feel it was a bit bare, no pretty pictures of, say, dancing couples. Or a video (or pic) of what you’re supposed to look like when you’re doing the dance. Even if you do get the basic steps right, there’s no saying you’re getting the dance right as well. However, if you just need to get through your first dance, or want to get some basics, it could be a very useful app.
Big selling point: grooms-to-be can convince their fiancees that they absolutely MUSt have a brand new iPad2 before they can get married, simply to practice their dance steps.

We rate this app 3.5 out of 5 stars
