Groomsmen's elaborate reception dance shocks bride

Tuesday, August 18, 2015
When Kirk and Valerie Henning, both professional dancers, got married, Kirk and his groomsmen had an elaborate dance routine planned for Valerie.
Valerie had asked Kirk for a groomsmen dance, but he told her he was too busy so the 8-minute dance could be a surprise.
In a video going viral, Valerie and the guests are blown away the performance.
Valerie and Kirk both dance at Richmond Ballet, and parts of their wedding, like the flower girl dresses, were inspired by that.
Valerie and Kirk are pictured during the ceremony.
The reception was held at CenterStage, a venue where they have performed together.
The reception was set up on the stage of the theater.
After the groomsmen dance, Valerie and her guests joined in the fun.
