The Making of a First Dance | '4x4xU' by Lainey Wilson (BTS of Choreography)

Here’s the BTS of how Andrei and I choreographed a first dance to “4x4xU” by Lainey Wilson: created for a couple who wanted something natural, flowing, and a little more spicy than cute, while still looking effortless in wedding attire. 💍 Whether you’re getting married soon or dreaming about your perfect moment, this choreography is designed to feel confident, connected, and true to who you are as a couple. 🎵 Song & Credits Song: “4x4xU” by Lainey Wilson Choreography & Performance: Bella Marie Ballroom & Andrei Filming: Central Studio in Albany, New York 📌 Why This Choreography Works for a Wedding First Dance After 8 years of choreographing first dances, I’ve developed a curriculum built specifically for wedding couples — not ballroom dancers. My focus is always: natural movement, seamless moments, and shapes that flatter wedding attire (even restrictive gowns!). Most couples tell me they want something romantic, elegant, and easy to learn... but this pair also wanted a touch of heat in the connection and styling. So we added subtle body action, playful musicality, and flirty moments that feel intimate without being overwhelming. 🎥 Watch until the end for a peek at the spicy final run!
