Weddings & More...

Last weekend we celebrated the wedding of Ami & Nikhil Ghanekar. Sapnay Dance celebrated with the family by bringing the cousins together for a memorable and enthusiastic dance number consisting of a Hindi film dance (Bollywood), Garba/Raas & Bhangra medley.

Sapnay Dance worked with the bride to understand what personal touches she wanted to make it special for her and the groom. Per her request we were able to fit in a fun, upbeat, Garba/Raas & Bhangra piece. 

The brides cousins were from all parts of California and across the states but that did not stop us from making a brides wish come true. The cousins received a video tutorial of a dance choreography which consisted of a 4 song medley to learn weeks before the wedding. Sapnay Dance provided steps for the girls & the boys depending on the dance, as well as a break down of each choreography to make it easy to learn on their own! Family members had the opportunity to practice on their own prior to the wedding at their own time, in their own space and at their own pace!

The night before the wedding (at the sangeet/mehndi night) the cousins, who had already arrived, spent an hour reviewing the steps as a group ensuring everyone was moving in the same direction.  The night did not end there. The cousins stayed up playing games and getting in some quality time together before the wedding festivities began the next day.

At 9 AM Saturday morning, still in PJs, the cousins spent 45 minutes running through the whole routine and reviewing some key steps. This was the first time they got to review the formations however, there were still some cousins missing so it wasn't perfect just yet.

Not much time between the wedding and reception, but Sapnay Dance always manages to squeeze in  one more run through as everyone was finally present.

The Bride & Groom loved it and the cousins are still reminiscing about the fun times spent together practicing and on the dance floor!

We enjoyed being part of such a special and fun celebration! Sapnay Dance wishes the Bride & Groom a wonderful start to married life! We loved being a part of your lifelong memories!
