Clean and Simple Wedding Dance Choreography
As a dance instructor, I have seen and put together
thousands and thousands of dance routines. Sometimes with time on my side and
other times, it was expected in 2 lessons prior to the big day! Setting the
perfect wedding dance routine can be tricky when either the expectations are
unrealistic or when everyone in the lesson (bride, groom and dance instructor)
have strong opinions on what the choreography should consist of.
Now there’s nothing wrong with a simple and elegant sway,
dip and spin choreography when all you really have is that 1 lesson. It beats
stepping on each other’s toes or trying to awkwardly dip each other at the end
of the dance. So if you’re pressured for time, I really do suggest keeping the
wedding dance routine as easy as you can get it, and simply enjoy moving together
in harmony to your favorite tune.
With time on your hands however, we can definitely add
that touch of excitement and the element of surprise to your first dance. Music
plays an important factor as it sets the tone and theme for your first dance.
Once selected and cut, we begin the process of learning your basics first.
Trust me, without a solid knowledge of the basics, nothing fancy or fun will be
executed smoothly.
Over the last 16 years, I’ve been exposed to some
incredible, top of the line choreographers and coaches. I’ve been lucky enough
to train extensively with them and pick up on key points when setting a perfect
dance routine. It is quite unfortunate when I witness first time wedding
couples learning to dance and their dance has no meaning, no soul, personality
or feeling to it. Spins, dips and turns are entertaining but they aren’t as
effective when placed just anywhere in the routine at any given time. Think of
your wedding dance as this: You are creating a story with your body and
executing the story to your family and friends to music. There has to be a
storyline, a reason to dip the girl at this moment, following this pivot,
otherwise it becomes an awkward and unnecessary move.
Create your storyline, your wedding dance instructor will
put it in dance moves and voila! You’ve got yourself the perfect, one of a kind
wedding dance especially tailored to you and your fiancé!
