Tip n° 1: the choice of music

The first tip is very important. Indeed, depending on the choice of song style, you will not be able to convey the same message or perform the same dance. A waltz will be magical and a dynamic salsa.
To help you control your steps, slow music will be perfect. A waltz is perfect to bring the necessary magic of the moment.
Sometimes, originality and rhythm can bring a plus. But for the success to be total, it is essential to prepare well for the moment. However, always start with a quiet moment, then end with a more rhythmic dance.
The medleys have their place in this moment to be able to chain the different types of dances.
To allow you to have exactly the right music, you can send the songs or the medley directly to your presenter. Remember to get closer to him so that there are no hitches in the distribution of the music of this so important moment.

Tip 2: the surprise must be total

It’s not always easy to keep a secret. But for the great success of your prom opening, you must preserve and protect the surprise. Only the speakers should be in on the secret and you should specify that no one should speak. The fewer people there are in the confidence, the greater the surprise will be.
If you are planning an original dance or a surprising moment, practice. It is with repetition that you will be totally ready. But to prepare, you must do it out of sight and above all not give in to the temptation to share your surprise. It’s very hard not to tell your best friend what’s planned. But if you resist, the result and the surprise at your ball opening will bring extra soul to your evening.
Finally, be yourself and don’t try to do too much. If you take pleasure, the surprise will still be very communicative and exciting.

Tip 3: the duration of the prom opening

This is a very important question that comes up very often. How long should the opening ball of a wedding last?
Before even determining the duration, you must know when this opening will occur. Indeed, you can have a longer time before the meal compared to after the dessert. Indeed, after the meal, the guests have ants in the legs and will get bored more easily. Before the meal, or even during it, they will be more easily a spectator.
The choice of the moment made, remember that a ball opening must not exceed 5 minutes. 2 to 4 minutes is the ideal length to allow time with the parents and time between the bride and groom, without seeing your guests drop out of the moment.
Also, the dance time between the bride and her father does not have to last as long as that with the groom. Often it is good to do 1/3 – 2/3.
So you have all the freedom to insert choreography and set the mood.
Finally, if the duration is not too long, you can invite your guests to join you on the dance floor and start the party, because they will have ants in their legs.

Tip #4: Choose your shoes wisely

Indeed, depending on the choice of dance or choreography, you will not be as comfortable in ballerinas or with heels.
Take care to prepare, to think in advance your shoes. It’s good for the bride, but also for the groom. Indeed, if the dance is very sporty, the groom’s shoes can hurt. It would be a shame to hurt your feet and not be able to enjoy the rest of the evening. Don’t worry about aesthetics, during the prom opening dance the guests aren’t looking at your feet, they’re just enjoying the moment.
You may also be tempted to get changed, but a prom opening dance loses all its magic without the bride’s dress. So to allow you to fully succeed in your dance and your choreography, train in situation. No need to put on the wedding dress, but wear during your training a dress that looks to be in the right configuration.
Finally, the importance of preparation also allows you to take note of the space you need. Indeed, treat yourself to the same dance space that you will use to train.
As you will have understood, preparation is one of the most important factors for the success of your prom opening. Leave nothing to chance for this very important moment.
