West Coast Swing - Our Bridal Dance

[bennettserena]

well done!! its hard enough dancing with foot work in WCS let alone dancing with a heavy wedding dress on! you guys did so well, Ive been dancing ceroc for almost 5 years now. and keen to move onto WCS that has recently come to Christchurch in NZ. thanks for the inspiration to do my wedding dance in my dress. i was freaking out thinking it wouldn't happen. even with being advanced. thanks you guys are amazing!!

[adss70]

Thank you for the compliments. We wish you all the best for your wedding dance.... I'm sure you'll be great.

[maythestarsabove]

Beautiful! My fiance and I will do WCS to our wedding, too, and this just made me that more excited for it!

[adss70]

I look forward to the video. We wish you all the best.

[mediablog123]

2 people are obviously douchebags, this dance is so beautiful!

[lj11iceangel]

beautiful! i love the idea of using a west coast as a wedding dance!

[beckylpreston]

beautiful.

[zana927]

This is so beautiful! I have been looking for a dance for my wedding and I think this is it! I love that when then the bride is dancing, it kind of looks like she's floating across the floor because you can't really see her feet =)

Fabulous wedding dance. I could have sworn I heard Beata Howe's YEEEAAAHHHH at the end. ;-)

[adss70]

Thank you. PS. the Yeeeaaaahhhh was me when the dance was finally over :D

[cjhdancer1]

I see that you favored a Christopher & Katrina video and that you live in Australia. Did you happen to catch them at one of the events, workshops or dances that Brady Stanton arranged?

[hirjournee]

Very Classy.

[cehornberger]

An amazing and passionate dance! great job!

[adss70]

Thank you. Penny and I are proud to say that the choreography is ours.

[pangaeanshift]

I cannot express how absolutely amazing this is!!! You guys are amazing and so pretty and soooooo good. Whoever choreographed this really did a great job. My step-sister and her fiance are doing a West Coast for their wedding dance as well coming up. I hope it turns out as amazing as yours!

[brewer921]

I'm impressed.

[adss70]

[shanemacoz]

Nice Dance. fantastic

[swizzlestick447]

Well done! Nice dance, but there is nothing here that is WCS

[adss70]

Thank you ....

I disagree about nothing being WCS as, with the exception of the aerials/lifts and one move that we copied form a Brandi and Tobias routine, ALL of the moves performed in the dance were from Jordan and Tatiana's workshops, privates, and videos.

[adss70]

In addition to my previous reply, I wanted to say that although the moves are WCS, what you might find is that, as we are only beginners in WCS, our prior learned dance styles make the execution of the WCS moves look different to what you might be used to seeing with mainstream WCS dancers. I would certainly understand and agree with this observation. All I can say is that we tried out best.

[toplizard]

ya man--definitely all west coast. even the lifts--those arent social west coast but they are performance west coast. really nice dance. :)

[adss70]

thank you

[adss70]

Thank you irishbrat4u.

[irishbrat4u]

The best wedding dances I've seen. Brilliantly executed.

[fastcomms]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE *******

NICE WELL OILED MOVES. Good Musicality. Shame the wedding dress covers brides leg syncopation. Like to see that again with lady in trousers.

And what better place to do dips and drops than your own wedding ? BLISS

YES ANOTHER MAN CRYING, I cried at the Bolshoi BUT last time I cried like that over dancing I was trying to fight tears of excitement as at the time I was the first man in the UK to ever freestyle with 5 times WCS World Champion Tatiana (Tanya) Mollman.

[adss70]

Too kind! Speaking of Bolshoi, for a while here in Melbourne, we had an adagio teacher who in his younger years danced for them. He then went on to perform for Cirque De Solei in Las Vegas.

[davidmelekh]

Incredible!! It brought tears to my eyes ... and I'm a man! I may 'borrow' some of this for my wedding dance. :-) Thank you for sharing.

[adss70]

Thank you for the compliment and sorry for the tears. When a tear appears, you can always do what I do, state that it is simply caused by allergies :D

[fastcomms]

Why not admit that dancing is a passion that can give more fulfilment than anything else.

Extreme emotion gives tears. Why be afraid to let someone see your sensitive side. Is Macho good ? Be honest men dancing is a bit girly but ladies find nothing more super sexy than a man who dances well .

[adss70]

True!

In my case I know of one lady that finds me dancing as sexy :D

[deb02888]

Thanks for having the imagination to do a WCS as your wedding dance! Beautiful!

[adss70]

Thank you. We both loooooooooove WCS.

[fastcomms]

DEB02888 said imagination NOT QUITE...to do WCS that well you need absolute dedication to the point of obsession.

Here here but I suspect that this was not a last minute decision the do WCS for the wedding , I have a feeling that this couple eat sleep and breath to dance like I do. Almost guarantee that they met at a dance comp and almost all of the wedding guests are WCS addicts. LOL

[adss70]

Thank you for your compliments. You were almost correct ... we met at dancing (although Modern Jive) .... WCS is definitely our favourite dance style ... dancing is Penny's passion and my obsession :D .... the choice of dance style at our wedding was never in doubt ... and a large section of our wedding guests were in fact dancers (although only 6 WCS dancers).

Overall, well guessed!!

[BusGirl576]

Okay!! I got leaking eyes!! Shame on you....and how fantastic did you look. Congratulations.x.

[adss70]

Thank you for the compliment and sorry for the tears :D xo

[adss70]

Thanks crazypartyhottie3!!

To answer your question, the routine was a choreography as on such a busy day it was nice knowing that something we not left to chance :D

From memory it took us about a month to choreograph and a couple of weeks of practice ...... from memory we had one session a week lasting approx 1-1.5 hours.

[crazypartyhottie3]

amazing! I'm guessing it was pre-coreographed? Did you reherse a lot before the wedding?

[adss70]

Thank you Sociopathicly. I'd love to do it again: on second thought, I'm not sure that I have it in me to re-organise the whole wedding. :D

[Sociopathicly]

Absolutly brilliant, defiantely the best bridal waltz I've ever seen.

[broadsmachine]

Random, viewing.. Your Dance was lovely, and makes me wish I had started dancing before I got married. We are both really enoying ceroc style jive at the moment. Not as good as you guys yet though.. :D

Thanks for sharing.

[adss70]

Thank you.

The great news is that you are now dancing together and really enjoying it. Our dance venues are currently shut for the X-mas holiday: so Ceroc in the kitchen it is! :D

[strivin4him]

This is by far the best wedding dance I've ever seen! You guys are awesome!!

[adss70]

Thank you: we loved doing it.

[antsandtina]

girl, you did a great dance in that dress, well done,!

[adss70]

Thank you .... it worked out well even though there were concerns that we could not do a dress rehearsal.

[Stazione2007]
