The study, commissioned by QHotels, found that the days of a traditional routine is no longer enough for some, with 22% of couples admitting they instead choose to choreograph a routine that is more personal to them.
A total of 1,500 people took part in the poll and it was revealed that a further 15% are so chuffed with their efforts on the big day that they upload the entire performance to YouTube.
While the style of the first dance has changed over time, so too has the song choice. Some 8% of respondents said their first dance was set to Savage Garden's 'Truly, Madly, Deeply,', while more upbeat songs also appeared on the list, including 'Waterloo' by Abba, and Haddaway's 'What Is Love'.
Commenting on the report, QHotels Marketing Director, Claire Rowland said: "Every bride and groom wants their wedding to stand out and be personal to them, and the first dance is no exception. A traditional slow dance to a classic romantic ballad does not suit everyone and we encourage all couples to express themselves and celebrate their individuality, as at QHotels, we do not believe in a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to weddings.
"Today's couples are opting for performance-quality, Strictly-style routines that are unique and memorable instead of simply sentimental."
