Important Tip: Don't Underestimate the Element of Surprise!

Everyone likes to surprise someone they care about. Oddly enough, a wedding dance is a great opportunity for that... because a wedding is usually SO planned that no one expects something not on the agenda. People will be surprised that you choreographed or rehearsed your dance to begin with... but if there is an element of surprise to it also - then you have a memorable event!

So don't tell them what you have planned. Don't let everyone in on it. Don't even tell them you are taking lessons. I've helped the bride and groom take the floor and surprise everyone at their wedding with fantastic results. I've helped the wedding party pull off a surprise on everyone else at the reception. I've even helped the bridal party pull off a dance that no one was expecting -- not even the groom!

Your wedding dance can be whatever you want it to be. Allow YOURSELF to be surprised by what it can be!

The Bride, The Groom & The Kids Dance

Here is a great idea. This dance is actually from the couple's anniversary celebration, but it could easily be a first dance when the couple already have children. It would be a good way to incorporate the kids into the celebration. It's also a great example of the element of surprise. Watch the guests behind the couple. When they start their slow dance, there are smiles but also the body language shows they are settling in for a boring few minutes... only to be surprised moments later.
