Have you seen the epic mother-son wedding dance video in that starts out conventionally (to Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable”) then Surprise! switches to a montage of different songs and choreographed dances to go with each of them? It’s very cute. If you haven’t seen it here is the video:
As a former choreographer and current mother of a son I feel like the gauntlet has been thrown. I’ve started to brainstorm ideas for a possible epic mother-son wedding dance for me and my son to do. Here are a few potential options:
- Like Fred and Ginger but with more attitude
- Recreate the Jack Rabbit Slim’s Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega dance from Pulp Fiction
- Lord of the Dance homage/parody
- Recreate the final number from Dirty Dancing
- Jets vs Sharks from West Side Story
- The audition scene from A Chorus Line (hip! hip! hip! hip!)
- The audition scene from All That Jazz (knee! knee! knee! knee!)
- Something inspired by Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time” video
- That OK Go video with the treadmills
- The water bucket dance from Flashdance (but with champagne to make it classy since it’s a wedding!)
Admittedly a few of those may be a bit inappropriate. Luckily since my son isn’t even 5 yet I should have at least a couple of decades (I hope) to come up with an ideal dance montage and to work on my layouts.
