Bridal Party dance

Who is doing a dance with both or either side of your bridal party? If so, what are you dancing to? How far in advance did you start practicing ? Was it hard to get everyone together to practice? I wanna do something fun for my bridesmaids and i, like a medley from classic dances from films.

    That's great but again you need a lot of time and effort.

    Make sure you ask everyone and be very clear what the commitment would be. To pull this off without it looking like a youtube fail it needs to be treated like a professional level performance. Even if you manage to make it look super professional - its still kind of awkard for your guests to watch. All the eyes will already be on your as a bride you really don't need to go the extra step to perform IMO. If youre dead set on doing it just makes sure you and everyone else involved are on board and aware of what kind of commitment it is.


    To me this is unnecessary and a little attention grabby and awkward for guests to sit through. I would skip it personally, but again you need to juts make sure youre 100% aware of the commitment youre making and that if it doens't go off as planned there may be videos of it.

    To answer your question we thought about doing something quick and fun like Thriller, but the more I thought about it the more I realized how much I don't want to do it. When the BP enters they can choose to do a silly move or fun strut if they want, but it's a no for a dance. We may still play Thriller during normal dance time and if you know a few moves cool, but nothing will be planned. I just think it will be too much stress and pressure, and if you don't get the moves right it will look very sloppy. We aren't all professional dancers so I know someone (probably me) is bound to mess things up. Maybe if we were all on a dance team or something, but again I just don't want to showcase an awkward dance where no where knows how to actually dance lol. That's just me though, to each their own.

    If your bridal party is down i say do it. Just make an effort to practice it and keep it kind of light and fun so its not too much to remember. I've seen it done many times just like the ones done by bride/groom. I don't get freaked out by seeing it at all. Its not awkward to me, maybe a little overdone but if thats what you want then join the crowd! Check out youtube i've seen many on there. You might could even mimic some moves or you all come up with some while you practice. It's not everyone's "cup of tea" but im not going to tell you "not" to do something, especially if it doesnt have to do with poor hosting.

    I hadn't thought about it but I would do it. My girls are all actresses and on average we dance to choreography a number of days a weeks for months at a time.

    You know your crowd better than anyone in this discussion, if you'd like to do one be prepared for hours of coordinating schedules, meetups, reservations (as in BM not wanting to do a certain song or dance) basically be prepared for frustrating situations. At the end of the day it's YOUR DAY and a few minutes of a fun dance that you've all put work into won't kill anyone. I'm personally not doing one because i'm not a dancer myself and my bridesmaids all have crazy schedules to work around!
