Steampunk Wedding Dance at the Rocky Mountain Bridal Show
Steampunk is the mixing of mechanical technology, like clockwork gears with Victorian style, like top hats and tails. Victorian elements with a contemporary twist are a fan favorite for Steampunk weddings. So, for the Rocky Mountain Bridal show the Adventures in Dance team put together a steampunk wedding dance show.

Fall weddings can get creative. October is a great month for a steampunk inspired wedding. Online publications like Weddingomania ( link) the Ruffled blog ( link ) wedding photography ( link ) wedding forward ( link ) and Offbeat bride ( link ) have tons of tips on steampunk weddings.
Denver Steampunk Wedding
Holly taught a wedding dance mashup for a steampunk fairy wedding recently. Locals Gus & Sierra put together a first dance mashup to a great variety of steampunk hits. You can see the inspiration for their wedding here (link)
Steam Powered Ballroom Show
RMBS-Fashion-Show
The steampunk wedding inspired the steam powered ballroom steampunk wedding dance show at the Rocky Mountain Bridal Show. Dancers opened with a cheeky Cha-Cha to fighting trousers. The Victorian’s loved to Waltz. And a steampunk wedding wound not be complete without a Waltz, so Robyn and William danced a romantic waltz to “Return to the heart.” Hot “Havana” nights lead to a lovely slow and romantic Rumba. Craig & Holly danced a hot runway Rumba.
Steampunk Wedding Dance
What about the other Latin dance, the Tango? Electro ballroom’s “Lover’s Tango” was the perfect techno turn on a passionate dance. Songs of the sea are usually set in three. So, sea captain “Lady Marlene” was a perfect steampunk Viennese Waltz. Traveling to the tropics of Brazil, Robyn and William dances a scintillating Samba to “The Shape of You.”
Electro Swing at Show
Electro swing is a steampunk hit. So, Craig and Holly stepped back in time to the roaring 20’s for a Charleston, Quickstep, Swing dance mashup to “Sing, Sing, Sci-Fi Swing.” Channeling some 007 William and Robyn performed a Paso Doble to “In Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” Steampunk hit “Brass Goggles” by Steam powered Giraffe turned out to be a flirty Foxtrot for Craig & Holly.
Swing at the end
Saving the best for last, Robyn and William were ready to Jive. “In the Sci-Fi Mood” was the perfect Glenn Miller steampunk re-mix. Mixing Jive with a little West Coast Swing was a fabulous finish for the steam powered ballroom show at the Rocky mountain bridal show.
