Bridal Party Dance Classes
No doubt you’ve seen the videos of bridal parties stealing the show by putting on an epic dance that gets everyone on their feet.
Why not perform your own routine that wows your guests? You could round up your bridesmaids and groomsmen and take a professional class together, if you want your family and friends to be raving about the entertainment for weeks.
Even if this isn’t what you have in mind, there are other benefits to taking dance classes.
Wedding planning can be a stressful business, for everyone involved, including your bridal party. Booking your crew in for a dance class could be a fun way to thank everyone for their help, while squeezing in some physical activity to help fight any tension that’s creeping into your big day.
Research shows that dancing raises your heart rate and releases feel-good endorphins and serotonin into your bloodstream. It also lowers cortisol levels, which helps you feel less stressed.
Did you know that dancing can be more effective at boosting your mood, compared to exercising alone? This could have something to do with moving to music, which activates the brain’s pleasure circuits. It allows us to reconnect with our bodies, which is something we rarely do these days!
Taking a dance class is the perfect way for your groomsmen and bridesmaids to bond before they cross paths down the aisle, especially if they don’t know each other well. There’s a certain magic to dancing in sync with other people. In fact, research shows it can help you feel more connected and foster friendships. Dancing is all about synchronisation, which helps people to feel as though they’re one with the wider group, on a subconscious level.
