Mother son wedding dance tips
Craig and Sue, Mother Son wedding dance
I had a call from a mother recently asking for help with the mother son dance. She called asking to learn enough to not make a fool of herself in front of all the wedding guests. When she came in with her son she was so excited that it was possible to make a plan that helped her feel comfortable with dancing at her son’s wedding. She and her son have had a great bonding experience and priceless memories.
Tip 1 – Talk to your son about what you would like to do together
Tip 2– Pick a song
Tip 3– Set your expectations according to the time you have available. You can get up and do a couple of steps in a few hours, 6-8 hrs. You can add some turns, 9-15 hrs. you can do a medley.
Tip 4– Start lesson 3-6 months in advance of your wedding according to your plan
Tip 5– Relax at the wedding, you have it covered.
