Planning a sangeet? Make a checklist of the dances you must include in your sangeet to set the stage on fire, only on International Dance Day.
Every year on April 29th, the world celebrates International Dance Day to honour the universal language of dance—of movement, rhythm and most importantly, emotions. International Dance Day is dedicated to not only the artists out there moving in perfection, but also every soul that enjoys grooving on an occasion or two. And how else can Wedding Affair celebrate this day other than by talking about the one occasion that brings weddings and dances together—Sangeet!
A full-blown sangeet night is the heart of pre-wedding celebrations. It is the most fun and high-energy celebration that brings families together and makes memories. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents gets together and becomes a dancing superstar on the stage.
Let’s celebrate this International Dance Day with some must-have dance moments that you should not miss in your Sangeet celebration.
The Main Characters: Bride & Groom
Who else but the bride and groom should be the main characters of the night? The stars of the show always steal the spotlight, well, simply because they are the bride and groom. But what can make them truly rule the stage is a performance that will be engraved in every guest’s memory.
Think of a full-on SRK-Kajol romance on a mashup of songs from the classic Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jana Sanam to the new age Kesariya Tera Ishq Hai Piya. Add a touch of masti with a fun performance on Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam, or a well-choreographed Bolly tadka with Ghungroo. The night is yours and the choices are endless.

The Party Starters: Friends Group
If there is one performance that will announce the party and set the mood for the night, it is the friends’ dance. Energy, sass, chaos and a lot of inside jokes. Who knows the love story better than the friends?
For starting the party, a flash mob with friends is a great way to go. Start with the classics like Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and groove into party bangers like Kala Chasma, London Thumakda or Gallan Goodiyan. If there are a couple of dancing stars in your group, you can set the mood with an electrifying performance for the guests.
The Natkhat Memories: Brothers and Sisters
Siblings are the heart of every sangeet as they bring both emotion and entertainment on the stage with their dance. The years-long memories, the childhood nostalgia and the undeniable affection—all make these performances stand out among others.
The brothers of the room or the bride can show their swag on tracks like Tenu Lehenga, Suada Khara Khara or simply a fun performance. Sisters can set the stage on fire with songs like Laung Da Lashkara, Desi Girl or a fiery item song.
The Nostalgic Love: With Parents
One of the most wholesome moments of a sangeet celebration is seeing your parents dance on the stage for you. It is a perfect blend of love and emotion that no other relationship can be compared with.
Whether it’s a romantic showstopper between the parents or a visit to the memory lane for their child, a duet between the parents is always a win. A heartfelt performance between the bride and her mother followed by a swagger performance by the dad and chacha group—now that’s a party!

The Ice Breaker: With In-Laws
Gone are the days when the couple is not supposed to bond with their in-laws before the wedding. Modern-day couples are matching steps with their in-laws on their sangeet night and it is the best ice-breaker ever.
Be it the groom and mother of the bride combo, or sister-in-laws welcoming the new bride, these performances pave the way for bonds that will last a lifetime.
On the occasion of International Dance Day, make your playlist for your sangeet and start practising! Let the music play!
