This year, I had more couples come to our studio wanting to create a performance for their First Dance at their wedding. I guess more and more couples are looking to create a fun performance for their guests. Which I think it’s totally awesome! There’s nothing wrong with a simple dance, but I personally enjoy watching a couple work on something together to create something special for the two of them. Afterall, it is the first thing your family and friends will see you do as husband and wife. Why not make your First Dance into something special?
So, a couple calls our studio and asks if they can learn the whole choreography of the performance from Dirty Dancing. Of course we were so excited to hear this and couldn’t wait to see the couple! Their first lesson was to try a couple of elements, get their moves down, and get comfortable with the music. Oh, by the way, their wedding is in 2 weeks!! So their first lesson went well, and we start the choreography on their 2nd lesson. Do you all remember the beginning of the dance?? When he asks her to come closer to him, does this roll, and touches her arm as they look into each other’s eyes. It’s very romantic!! But wait! It actually didn’t go that well during practice… Why? Somebody had bad breath that day… lol!!
So we skip the romantic first part and move forward to learning the rest of the routine. The couple has previous dance experience, so they remember the routine very well and the choreography is coming along really great! 1 week has already passed and their wedding is next week! Can’t wait to see their completed dance!!
I will post the second part of this story when their routine is completed 🙂
