Wedding dance fever!
Tuesday, 4 August 2009
If you listened to Radio 1 this afternoon, you probably heard about the JK Wedding Entrance Dance. It's offically an 'internet sensation' and if you haven't seen it, you can find it here, on YouTube: JK Wedding Entrance Dance Over 16 million people have watched it already and it's brilliant. The video is a great example of how a bit of imagination and a few wedding dance lessons can make a wedding day truly memorable.
Choreographed first dances are more popular than ever but it's still a brilliant surprise for everyone when the bride and groom break into a great routine. And ladies, if your groom is not keen on taking lessons you can even have a dance themed hen night. On our wedding choreography page you'll find a video of the bride and a dozen hens performing the Dirty Dancing classic (I've Had) The Time Of My Life, including a spectacular lift!
You may think that shimmying down the aisle is a little too much, but whether it's the boys grooving to MC Hammer or the girls wishing they were Jennifer Grey, nothing raises the roof like a surprise performance. Whatever you choose to dance to, it's important to make sure that everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. A great wedding dance doesn't consist of complicated steps but moves that everyone can achieve while still smiling!
There are a lot of companies that offer wedding choreography but it's best to choose someone who is used to working with 'non-dancers.' Lisa tests all her steps on me and let me assure you, if I can do it, anyone can. If necessary, she'll adapt any steps to suit the wedding couple and of course take into account their experience and their attire (it's very difficult to cartwheel with a nineteen foot train!)
In a recent issue of Perfect Wedding Magazine a Manchester bride asked where she could get wedding dance lessons and they recommended calling me! It was a shock seeing my name and phone number printed in a national magazine but it goes to show that word must be spreading. Maybe one of our routines will be the next YouTube phenomenon and who knows, I could be the next Susan Boyle!
I'll leave you on that slightly queasy thought and go and practice my songs for next week. With a new Party Set about to make it's debut, I'd better learn some lyrics!
