Frame
Tight shoulders make any couple look tense. We keep elbows soft and the hold a little wider so jackets do not pull.
Lead
Decide by feel, not by height. Some grooms trade the lead once during the song, which looks natural and gives each of you a moment.
A dip that does not look stiff
The steadier partner supports. The partner being dipped bends at the knees and lets the head follow the spine instead of locking straight. Practiced low, then a little deeper.
Questions people ask
Will our jackets get in the way?
Practice in them once. We adjust the hold if sleeves are tight.
