Dancing in off the shoulder / Bardot wedding dress

I'm looking into having a Bardot / off the shoulder style wedding dress, and I'm worrying about dancing - will it look weird if I dance without lifting my arms above my shoulders?

I know it's a popular style so it must've been done - any other brides with experience please help, much appreciated!!

Thank you!!

Have you seen a particular dress that you like?

My dress is off the shoulder on one side (Chosen by Kyha Byron) and I had the same concern. But in my dress, there is boning in both the corset and off shoulder sleeve, meaning it doesn't actually rely on your arm for placement and therefore the arm bit isn't at all tight.

I practised moving my arms in mine and was fine. It is a structured off shoulder though, rather than drapey fabric and I still wouldn't recommend if you are an always "hands in the air" dancer, you really wouldn't get the effect the dress is designed for.
