E!Online Battle of the Wedding Dance Clips
Monday I got a call from E!Online regarding the recent and not so recent onslaught of YouTube wedding dance clips from “Evolution of Dance” to Michael Jackson “Thriller” knock-offs.
Yes, I agreed that these wedding dances were over the top and have been going on for at least the last two to three years. And yes, I’ve helped put together some crazy “Evolution” twenty-two or so dance clips for at least three of my more intrepid couples.
It’s fun but it takes a lot of rehearsal, a lap top and a desire to be absolutely absurd, crazy and cool all at the same time. But if that is your wish, as the saying goes, that is my command.
The interview with Joal Ryan went on for about ten or so minutes and I told her about my couple who had their entire wedding party do an adorable dance to “I’m Too Sexy For My Hat” where we did fun formations on a pretend runway and even had a bit with everyone pretending to “drive” around the stage haphazardly for the “Too Sexy For My Car” lyrics.
Another group wanted the song “I Feel Good”. We did some great sixties dancing to that one, the Twist, the Swim and the Mashed Potato and generally looked really laid back and groovy!

I got the last words in at the bottom of the article.
As choreographer Jillian Forbath of OurWeddingDance.com tells us: “I think there’s a lot of pressure on a bride and groom to top the last thing they saw at a wedding.”
