The High School Musical Dance Moment
As part of their wedding celebration, Allen and January, along with their wedding party, performed a choreographed dance to the iconic song “We’re All in This Together” from the 2006 Disney film High School Musical.
The newlyweds and their wedding party wore matching blue attire as they danced on the floor, recreating the famous moves from the movie.
