Hi all, I’ve been asked to call a Bridgerton-themed wedding dance. Part of what makes the Bridgerton theme is the music… So I’m wondering if anyone has experience (of either the successful or unsuccessful variety) of calling dances to music that isn’t our normal dance tempo (these sound a little faster than normal contra tempo) and aren’t in our standard AABB pattern. Some of the music examples I'm trying to work with are below (I’ll be using recorded music)
The event is normal wedding fare- not experienced dancers. Which will either mean everything falls apart or they won’t mind the dance being sloppy because they’re just so excited by dancing and the cool music. The dances I’m planning to use are very basic (Galopede, LaBastringue, a scatter mixer, some version of duke of Kents waltz etc.) So if you have related experience: Have people been into the music so much they don’t mind that they’re finding it hard to dance with the phrase and remember the dance? Are you able to keep them together just by your calling? Do they kind of figure it out? Other ideas? > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCIG6nbyiUM > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCIG6nbyiUM> > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKTnO9fOcE8 > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKTnO9fOcE8> > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qi1ApgkdCo > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qi1ApgkdCo> > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMU1RZVX5mQ > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMU1RZVX5mQ> > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZhzFE2C-_w > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZhzFE2C-_w> > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un4SsyvnKH4 > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un4SsyvnKH4>
