Practice and Have Fun
To perform a choreographed surprise wedding dance with confidence takes practice! We suggest giving yourself at least 3 months to prepare for a choreographed wedding dance. It’s a good idea to set up weekly practices leading up to your wedding. That way, not only will you be able to perform confidently at your wedding, you can actually enjoy the process of learning to dance with your future husband/wife or your wedding party. It’s going to be a wonderful bonding experience and stress reliever before your big day. Enjoy!
