this scene is a reference to a first dance at one's wedding:
- unlike expected from a group of dancers, they don't dance altogether, don't change dancing partners and move as individual couples
- the outfits are very traditional for a wedding setting with the wife in a white dress and the groom in a black tuxedo with a white shirt underneath
- lifting up the bride is a part of traditional first dance choreography (and also a dirty dancing reference)
- they all look alike: same hairstyle, similar hair colour and physique, which is intentional stereotyping to show that virtually "everyone normal" can get married, can get a spectacular wedding
- note that everything happens in front of a curtain here, showing that it's public event, everybody sees these people being together
in this scene, louis is the only one without a partner to dance with:
- he's standing right in the middle of the target, in centre of everyone's attention
- "i'm just like you" = he wants what they have, be with his partner on public, marry them and dance with them
- not to get into stunts, but he could easily have this with eleanor, who has the same physical appearance the women have there, so that's not *it*
if you look closely, louis is not dressed the same way as other men:
- he's not the same as they are, but it's similar, because he wants the same thing
- his outfit is all black, because he's the black sheep, the odd one in the group
- note that he has a tiny white detail - the colour that supposedly matches his partner's outfit - on his chest, right where his heart is
tldr: louis wants to live the 'normal' life but cannot, because he and his partner are not the heteronormative 'normal' couple
