Sashay Dance visited Bridal Reloved York to come up with the best advice on dancing in your wedding dress. Here’s our top 5 tips:
If you’ve not yet got your dress there’s a few wedding dress styles which make dancing a whole lot easier. Try the high low dress (slightly higher on the hem on the front than the back), the dress with the detachable train or why not use it as the perfect excuse to get 2 completely different dresses. Dresses vary immensely in weight too and generally the lighter the dress the easier it is to dance in.
If you’ve already found your dream dress you can bustle the dress. This can either be done using a hook and eye on the outside or bustled from the inside using a button. The good news is that in terms of alterations this is a relatively quick job allowing you to dance the night away in style.
Have a little practice dancing around in your wedding dress with your wedding shoes on. If they are problematic why not try a wedge, you could even jump on the comfy bandwagon of the wedding trainer trend. Some trainers come with a wedge maintaining the perfect dress length all night long.
For court shoes that tend to flop on and off when dancing we’d highly recommend the ‘clear strap’. The clear strap can be put around the shoe to give that extra bit of security, we’ve used these at Sashay Dance before and they are fab!
We’d recommend leaving your drink at the table, as dancing round with a drink in a normal dress is hard enough as it is. It is your wedding though, so if you do want to drink and dance go ahead, a nice champagne is least likely to stain.
And most importantly…. have the most amazing wedding day and lots of fun!
Sashay Dance specialise in fun hen party dance classes across the UK. We have 17 groovy themes to choose from including The Greatest Showman, Spice Girls and Dirty Dancing. Our mission is to deliver fun across the nation and create happy dancing memories to last a lifetime.
Bridal Reloved is one of the UK’s largest bridal chains and the world’s only chain of preowned wedding dress boutiques. They specialise in high end designer dresses that are either preloved or samples. On this visit we met Elizabeth Matfin owner of the Bridal Reloved York branch.
A lot of our hen party groups perform their hen party dance routine at the wedding which we think is an excellent idea. For those sitting on the fence line here’s some reasons why you should do the hen weekend dance routine at your wedding:
1. Firstly it will be lots of fun and a good laugh
2. You’ve already learned the routine fairly recently so you might as well show it off
3. Free entertainment for wedding guests
4. Create happy dancing memories on your special day
5. You could win the Sashay Dance Competition for best hen party dance and be in with a chance to win party dance class for up to 20 people (worth over £400). Simply send in the video of the Sashay Dance hen party dance class at a 2021 wedding to sarah@sashaydance.co.uk or via What’s App to 07801435665. The closing date is 31st December 2021.
What a year it’s been and who’d have thought that it would have become illegal to celebrate birthdays, hen parties, weddings and special occasions in the normal way over the last year! There’s very good news on the horizon following the announcement of the government roadmap and certainly in this country it looks like we will be able to have lots more fun this Summer.
There’s also all the missed special occasions too, a year of missed big birthdays, postponed weddings, team events and a country ready for some fun, making the most out of life after these testing times. I’d like to remind you all that it’s never too late celebrate and make the most of it.
We deliver fun party dance classes all across the UK and our aim is to create happy dancing memories to last a lifetime. Our classes are 2 left feet friendly, suitable for all and most importantly a lot of fun. Whether it’s for a hen party, birthday, team celebration or just for fun, we’ll give you something to dance about with our 15 groovy themes to choose from. Think anything from Charleston, Spice Girls, Dirty Dancing, Greatest Showman or we can even customise your own class. We can either hire a venue in your celebration location or come to you, this year we’ve had an influx in bookings for home back garden dance classes and hen party cottage dance classes. Wherever you are we really can’t wait to start dancing with you all again. This can all start happening very soon too which is so exciting, from 17th May 2021 dance classes can finally take place again!
My heart goes out to everyone who’s been affected by this horrible virus and we look forward to bringing some joy to peoples lives again through the form of dance very soon.
