EXCLUSIVE: "Dancing With The Stars" Couple Gives The BEST First Dance Finisher

It has been five years since we first met "Dancing With The Stars" pros - and real life married couple- Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov - when we photographed the professional prancing pair at New Jersey's Château Grande Hotel for their magazine cover and feature: "Ain't Love GRANDE" in pages of "Sophisticated Weddings". And - if you're like us - you've thoroughly enjoyed watching them perform on DWTS.


In the time since their photo shoot, Daniella and Pasha had a baby girl, Pasha went blonde, Daniella and her partner, New York Knicks star Iman Shumpert, won the DWTS Season 30 Mirrorball Trophy, the couple opened a café in Miami's South Beach area...


...and launched: WeddingDance.School, an online dance platform offering fully choreographed, step-by-step first dance lessons tailored for couples with zero prior dance experience. Who better than this dynamic dancing duo to give guidance to couples on their own first dance at their wedding?


Of all the dances they've choreographed and taught, below is a video of the best first dance finisher. And, by "best", we mean favorite amongst Daniella and Pasha's WeddingDance.School couples. It's not as complicated a move as it may seem. But we've slowed it down just a bit so you can learn it in your living room for your wedding.



With any of their choreography, Daniella recommends that brides take into consideration their dress, hair, and shoes.


One more piece of advice concerning your first dance finisher: give your photographer and videographer the heads up for what you have planned. You'll want them to be in the perfect spot to capture it.


...so you can watch it together at a later date and give yourselves scores.
