Should You Take Dance Lessons Before Your Wedding?

Trying to figure out whether you should go for dance lessons or not before your wedding? Keep in mind all the ceremonies that you will be a part of. If you are having a cocktail party, it's only justified to prepare a dance performance. One for the Sangeet ceremony too. And one performance should be dedicated specifically to your bride. When you have to prepare for so many dances, it is prudent to be taking dance lessons. And they might even come in handy later in life. Still need more reasons? Read on.

1. Keep your vibe in mind

Are you going to have beautifully choreographed performances at your wedding party? If your relatives and friends are going to be pitching in and rehearsing together, you should definitely join in with your partner and learn a few dance moves together. It doesn’t have to be complex or long at all, plus you can always discuss what you’re comfortable with and decide on something that works with your choreographer. However, if your parties are more casual and spontaneous, you can spend more time working on your wedding playlist and dance with your partner normally the way you would have a friend’s party without stressing over getting the steps right.

2. Bonding time

Privately taking dance lessons as a couple before the wedding isn’t a bad idea at all. Signing up together will allow you to learn new things about each other, beat pre-wedding stress and have some fun along the way. You’ll also grow more confident and comfortable before the wedding day. Don’t forget that you don’t need to fret too much over the perfect performance. Remember to let your hair down and have fun.

3. A great introduction

It’s a beautiful way to enter the venue as a couple—dancing together and letting your friends and family cheer you on. It’ll be unique and give you a chance to break the ice with your guests. It also helps avoid awkwardness and formal introductions. You can opt for a super romantic dance or a mad wedding dance song depending on your tastes and the nature of the party. Doing this unplanned will be incredibly hard and dance lessons will make it much easier for you.

4. Budgetary constraints

You’ll have to consider how much you are willing to spend on your wedding overall and figure out whether there’s room for dance classes. You’ll also want to explore how much-experienced choreographers charge and whether you’ll be able to accommodate it in your schedule. Arranging lessons for the entire family and friends will cost more than private lessons just for the two of you.

5. Your comfort level

Don’t ignore this at any cost. If your partner or you have two left feet, you may want to avoid this. The last thing you need is an awkward or clumsy experience topped with an embarrassing memory you’d rather forget. Make sure this is something that both of you want to do and don’t feel pressured to try.

Try to picture your would-be bride's face when she sees you rocking dance performance. Make her proud and impressed by the fact that she chose you. All you need is a Jhatak playlist and a wedding choreographer's help. Get your gang of groomsmen to follow your lead and set fire to the stage. A wedding video of your dance might even go viral. So, go explore the possibilities.
