Wedding Party – Dance!
Wedding party dances are hot, hot, hot right along with the weather. 
You might ask, “What exactly is a wedding dance?”
Well you can go to YouTube and type in “wedding party dance” and see lots of them.
Usually it’s a somewhat choreographed dance done by the entire wedding party to really “kick-off” the reception and add that little extra special personal touch to your day to remember.
The wedding party dance can be done to just one song or to a couple or group of songs.
I’ve worked with waltzes, popular tunes and oldie but goodies.
(Just a couple of examples: One group decided they wanted “I’m Too Sexy” which was very whimsical to choreograph to and another group really liked “I Feel Good” which we did a lot of retro moves to and really stirred up the crowd!)
It’s all in fun and it is fun!
This summer I had a particularly exciting wedding party dance with bride and groom Ruth and Michael and their wonderful wedding party of eight.
They decided they absolutely loved the song “All The Right Moves” by OneRepublic.

And they decided that they and their wedding party would wear masks, as if at a masked ball, and perform a near facsimile of the waltz type dance you see dancers dancing on YouTube in front of the band.
We didn’t have a lot of rehearsal time since everyone was coming from all over and we had to literally rehearse at the last minute!
But we videotaped it for everyone to review it that night and rehearsed our feet off.
And I think it came out quite well!
(I’ll be including a videotape of the dance here soon!)
Masks on, ready to start the group wedding dance!
So if you’re thinking about a wedding party dance here’s a couple of things to consider:
1) Is everyone in your wedding party ok with a group dance?
2) What song(s) do you like that you think will inspire them to really go crazy and be fun for everyone else to watch?
3) Can everyone in your wedding party get together to rehearse?
4) Do you want to use any props or special effects?
5) When during your reception do you want to do the dance?
