These Choreographed Wedding Dances That Make Us Smile

Exclusive access to expert wedding planning advice and resources from top industry professionals.

If viral videos are any indication, the dancing at weddings today could give Broadway a run for its money. While we’re fans of all types — medleys, dance-offs, flash mobs — our faves all have one thing in common: they really show off the bride and grooms' personalities.

Considering an impromptu “surprise” performance at your own wedding? The following are a good place to start for inspiration. Just remember, if you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right

1A High-Flying Act Down the Aisle

Who says you have to keep your feet on the ground? The groom’s antics are even cuter considering he — and his fellow parkour groomsmen — wrap up their acrobatic feats before the bride ever makes an appearance... though we think it’s safe to assume she was in on the secret.

2Post-Ceremony Dance Party

Clocking in at over nine minutes, this bride and groom devised a seriously epic exit strategy. The ceremony ends innocently enough, until the minister calls them back for a rockin’ dance medley no guest will ever forget.

With more than 14 million hits, the Brubakers' first dance has been a YouTube fave for nearly a decade. Three words describe why: “Baby Got Back!”

Chelsea and Daniel barely make it through their first dance when they're "rudely" interrupted by the wedding party. What ensues is a dance off that really does rock the reception.

9Training the Next Generation

Prepare yourself for cuteness overload. Little Judah shows he’s a dancin’ machine who can certainly hold his own with the big guys.

10A Very Literal Interpretive Dance to "Baby"

It's hard to say what’s more endearing in this video — the infectious spirit of the groom, or the bride who can’t stop laughing.

11Groom and Groomsmen Dance

It’s so much fun watching Stephen Murray and his groomsmen dance their way through Bruno Mars’ “Marry You,” it's hard to imagine them ever using another song.
