If your husband was notified TWELVE DAYS before he was supposed to be best man in a wedding, that he was expected to do that youtube dance down the aisle thing, would he want to back out of being in the wedding? Is it completely unreasonable to expect this with no rehearsal?
And if it was going to cause massive issues with the friendship if he refused to do it, and he was torn up about it, then what?

Mine wouldn't even want to be IN the wedding with that little notice, much less to a freaking dance.
I think if I were your husband I would try to be emotional and frank, something like, "Dude, I really really really want to be there for you and I really want to be your best man, but I DON'T want to do a dance performance. I'm sorry, buddy, but if you'd asked me about the dancing when you asked me to best man, I would have had to turn you down---not because I don't want to be your best man, but because I don't want to dance down the aisle."
I'd also be super-tempted to add, "And dude, that shark has JUMPED, you know what I mean?"
Oh my gosh, no no no. That dance is so over, and even if it weren't, I can guarantee my husband wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
So, what happened?
Long after the fact update:
He bowed out of the wedding party and in fact we didn't even attend. We've seen them once since then and it was fake and weird. The guys are still friends because they can compartmentalize. I'm not sure how.
I think the guys can still be friends because the whole Dancing Down The Aisle thing HAD to have been the bride's idea.
I mean, can you see a bunch of guys hanging out togetherwhen one of them says "hey, you know what would be GREAT idea for my wedding?", and then the rest of them saying "OMG! SQUEE!! YES!!!"?
Precisely.
