Weddings earlier were
serious affair with rigid rituals, songs to melt hearts, and
emotional outbursts. They still are, but with a more relaxed atmosphere where
families enjoys the rituals with music and dance.
This is reflected most
in the Sangeet ceremony where all the close relatives and friends give dance
performances. It is interesting to witness the elders swinging to the old
wedding songs or couples dancing on romantic numbers. Even sisters and
brothers, nieces and nephews give wedding dance performances. This is where
choreographers for Sangeet come in.
