Perhaps one of the most popular wedding dance songs today, “Over the Rainbow”, which is sometimes referred to as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” describes a world that’s full of hope and love, one that’s devoid of any troubles. What makes this song perfect for weddings is its tendency to give newly married couples the hope of having a wonderful life together. This song has been used widely in many movies and TV commercials ever since it catapulted to popularity in 1939, when it was sung by Judy Garland in the movie The Wizard of Oz. Since then, various versions have been created but there is one that really stood out, and it’s the version popularized by the Hawaiian musician Israel “IZ” Kamakakawiwo’ole.
IZ’s version of this song is in ukulele medley and can be perfectly danced using the Nightclub Two Step dance steps. The song’s steady and easy-to-hear beat makes it easy to dance, making it one of the best wedding dance songs for the father-daughter and mother-son dances in a wedding. Another good thing about IZ’s version of the song is its ideal pace – it isn’t fast and neither is it slow. The song’s duration of 3:31 minutes is also an ideal time for most wedding dance songs.
If you are looking for wedding dance songs that you can dance in Nightclub Two Step dance steps, “Over the Rainbow” by Israel “IZ” Kamakakawiwo’ole should be on your list. It’s a perfect choice for a happy and lively atmosphere on your wedding day.

High above the chimney tops thats where you’ll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can’t I? i iiii
Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, I…I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more
Than we’ll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld
Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you’ll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can’t I? I hiii ?
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

You’re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You’re daddy’s little girl to have and hold.

You’re mommy’s bright and shining star.
You’re the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree,
You’re the Easter bunny to mommy and me.
You’re sugar you’re spice, you’re everything nice,
And you’re daddy’s little girl.
You’re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You’re daddy’s little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
You’re mommy’s bright and shining star.
You’re the treasure I cherish so sparkling and bright,
You were touched by the holy and beautiful light.
Like angels that sing a heavenly thing,
And you’re daddy’s little girl.

I can`t believe that I’ve found you
Fate did a number on me
If you end up with my arms around you
It`s meant to be
Well, maybe my crazy is showing
But maybe I’m hooked on your touch
But wherever my life is going
There ain`t no rush `cause
Chorus:
Wherever you`re going
I`d like to go too
If you don`t have anything
Better to do
I`d love to spend
Some more time together
So what are you doing
Between now and forever
I`ll take the blue with the gray days
I just pray the road will be long
`cause if I’m beside you there`s no way
I can go wrong
(repeat chorus)
I`d love to spend
Some more time together
So what are you doing
Between now and forever
What are you doing
Between now and forever

I don’t know where
The time has gone
Since those little boy days
Doesn’t seem that long
Yet here you are
It’s your wedding day
And there’s one thing darling
I’d like to say…

Be kind, be sweet
Be a gentle man
Care and share
And always be fair
And remember though you now
Have taken a wife
You will always be my son
My Loving son
You filled my life
With so much joy
As I watched you grow
From that little boy
Now I’ll try not to cry
As you walk away
And just once more darling
I’d like to say…
(chorus)
Be kind, be sweet
Be a gentle man
Care and share
And always be fair
And remember though you now
Have taken a wife
You will always be my son
My Loving son

Waltz is a popular ballroom dance and many people find this dance very beautiful.

Another way to learn and appreciate what is ballroom dancing is by watching ballroom contests, such as the sports fest. This video shows professional Waltz dancers competing in the Stanford Viennese Ball 2010.
The Waltz dance is also very prominent in weddings and wedding receptions. Wedding dances, such as the newlywed couple’s first dance, the bride and her father’s father-daughter dance, and the groom and his mother’s mother-son dance, are sometimes danced to the Waltz style. With Waltz, there is a deep connection between the dancers that viewers can really see and feel as they witness the dance, which is why the Waltz dance is perfect for wedding ceremonies.
The following video shows a newlywed couple’s first dance beautifully danced in the Russian Waltz style:
Learning what is ballroom dancing would help you know the different ballroom dances popular today, among which is the Waltz. Waltz is considered as the oldest of all ballroom dances. It dates back to the 18th century. It was said that a German folk dance known as “Lander” is the forerunner of the Waltz dance. It was also during this time when a dance, called “Walzer” was developed. The name of this dance indicates a rotating motion, which was visible in the dance. During Napoleon’s time, the Waltz dance spread from Germany to Paris during invasions, and it reached United States after gliding through England.
The Waltz was first introduced as a ballroom dance in the 19th century, and it was certainly greeted with outraged reactions from people of those times. Waltz was the first ever dance to have a modified closed position wherein the man’s hand is fixed around the waist of the lady. People back then were known to be conservative, thus their reaction.
Despite this, the Waltz slowly became popular in ballroom events, most notably in 1830 when two Austrian composers Lanner and Strauss introduced the Viennese Waltz, a very fast version of the Waltz. The Viennese Waltz was very fast that later on, people had a hard time keeping up with the fast tempo, usually losing their act along the way.
The Americans learned about what is ballroom dancing even more during those times partly because of Waltz. It wasn’t clear when the Waltz came to the United States but in the middle of the 19th century, it had been a recognized part of the ballroom scene. Many variations of this dance became popular during those times, some of which were the “Boston”, “Hesitation Waltz”, and ”American Style Waltz”. Today, most ballroom dancers dance the Viennese Waltz, along with the American and International style waltzes.
Learning what is ballroom dancing usually starts off with learning to dance the Waltz. You can do it with the help of the best dance instructors in town or even just by watching ballroom videos and dance shows. Have fun!
