First Dance...

The past two weekends we have been attending weddings (non-business related) and this is where we had a moment of realization.

Everyone was seated in a beautifully decorated banquet hall, the lights were dimmed and all eyes were on the bride & groom as they slowly moved to their First Dance as a married couple. The guests watched in adoration, the parents overlooked the newly weds with pride and joy and the bride & groom gazed into each others eyes and shared a romantic moment.

At this moment, I reflected on the Private sessions we have been having with a bride & groom to-be. Each session we focused on learning the choreography, the intimacy of the movements, the natural motion of each step but most importantly we focused on what a memorable moment this would be. It would be a moment they would rewind and watch over and over again in the years to come as they celebrated their union one day, month, year at a time.

This was one hour every week where they were both able to step away from: the madness of planning a wedding, dealing with one too many adults, making stressful decisions, debating whether to speak their mind or bite their tongues even when there was so much to say and of course the constant worry of whether it will all go as planned. This was a time for them to enjoy each other's company and engage in an activity where team work was required along with rhythm, sync, laughter, coordination, balance and, of course, fun! Yes, everything they will need up until their big day and for the rest of their lives as a married couple.

It was as I was sitting in this reception hall watching this newly wed couple dance away to their First Dance that I realized that we were not just preparing for one dance. We were creating a life long memory and marking the beginning of many dances in life together where these lessons of working together, enjoying each others company and being in sync will come in very handy. It is a special moment which the young couple are preparing for and it is even more special knowing that Sapnay Dance plays such a rewarding and exciting part in it.

We are so excited to see the Bride & Groom join together in the first of many dances together in life...
