Anneke & Benedikt's wedding dance
> Clip from the wedding dance
Anneke and Benedikt were determined to dance Lindy Hop for the opening dance of their wedding. When they asked us to support them, they had already decided on the song "Bei mir bist du schejn" (You're My Love) . A great song with several tempo changes.
Together, we looked at the musical structure and combined different moves. Anneke and Benedit didn't choose an easy song, but they mastered it brilliantly. Finally, we also incorporated Charleston and blues elements. Great!
