25 Jazz Songs for Your First Dance

Looking for a timeless song for your first dance? Jazz is the way to go. Here are 25 tracks to check out.

The Intentions!

Want your first dance to ooze class and sophistication? Trade in your Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift albums for something a touch more refined and try setting the tone with a jazz first dance song by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or Louis Armstrong. While top 40 hits are great, jazz songs have a timeless quality that few pop artists can replicate. If you’re aiming to achieve a Gatsby-esque vibe, these jazz dance song ideas will fit perfectly into your big day.
