Review of First Dance

The concept is simple and the effect is nice: a vox of people’s memories of their first dance. Most everyone’s got a story (mine involves having my six-year old fists pried off a banister by an aunt who force-danced me around the basement to Neil Sedaka’s “Calendar Girl") so the stories and thoughts are instantly relatable. It offers a nice combination of the mundane and the emotional from diverse voices. This could fit in nicely with music programming.
