Every year we encounter couples who don't quite know how to approach the dip. But everyone seems to want to learn it, so we thought it would be helpful to give you some insight and useful inspiration from NIck and Lauren in the photo below. Nick and Lauren worked with us last year before their wedding. And look at that - they nailed the dip! Don't they look fantastic?
Here's 5 Tips for the Perfect Wedding Dance Dip! ✨🕺
Nothing says “romantic finale” like a breathtaking dip! Whether you're going for a classic, dramatic, or playful dip, here are five pro tips to make it smooth and stunning:
1️⃣ Find Your Frame – A strong posture is key! The leader should keep a firm but gentle hold, perhaps you can experiment with a few arm positions, while the follower engages their core to keep their body elegant.
2️⃣ Step Into It – leaders, take a big step to the side as you dip your partner for a stable foundation.
3️⃣ Give your leader time – The follower sets their own position before the dip, but the leader stays in charge of when to do the dipping itself. It’s a dip, not a trust fall!
4️⃣ Keep Eye Contact - or don’t! – Looking at each other adds romance, but the follower could choose to look away at teh audience for a more comfortable neck position. Both look amazing in photos!
5️⃣ Practice, Practice, Practice! – Confidence comes with repetition. Run through your dip a few times before the big day to make it feel natural.
