How to Coordinate Sangeet Choreography for a Show-Stopping Performance
Planning a sangeet performance for an Indian wedding can be so much fun, but bringing all the dances together can be a little tricky if you don’t know where to start. Whether you’re putting something together with cousins or organizing a full family dance battle, good coordination can really make your show unforgettable (and let’s be real, you want those videos to go viral with your wedding photo sharing QR code!).First things first—get your team sorted. Put together a group chat with everyone who’s dancing and keep all updates and practice schedules there. It makes a huge difference when everyone’s on the same page. You can also use the group chat to share practice videos and song ideas.
Next, pick your songs wisely. Choose tracks that mean something to the couple, have plenty of energy, and get people excited. Mix it up with some romantic numbers, old-school Bollywood hits, and full-on party anthems. If your group includes kids or elder family members, don’t forget to add songs that are fun and comfortable for them too!
Now, choreography doesn’t have to be complicated to look amazing. You don’t need professional moves—just steps that are easy, in sync, and enjoyable. Use YouTube videos for inspiration, or even better, assign a few confident dancers as choreographers. They can teach others and keep the energy up during practice.
Plan your performances like a show. Start with a strong opening act to grab attention, keep it balanced in the middle, and save your most exciting or emotional act for the end. If you have a mix of solo, duet, and group performances, even better—it adds variety for the audience.
Practice is where the magic happens. Try to schedule a couple of group run-throughs, especially in the week leading up to the sangeet. Even if not everyone can make every session, just getting a few people together helps a lot. Keep it chill and supportive—everyone’s here to have a good time, not to be perfect dancers.
Finally, have a plan for the actual night. Know the order of performances, check the sound system ahead of time, and have someone in charge backstage to call people up when it’s their turn.
With a little teamwork and lots of laughs, your sangeet performance can turn into one of the best parts of the wedding!
