Dancing On Your Wedding Day

It’s quite common to find dancing at wedding receptions. It is the custom for the father of the bride to dance with the bride, followed by the wedded couple’s first dance. Anyone at the wedding can enjoy themselves fully.

Chicken Dance
Would you like to add some excitement to the dance floor? Some activities are sure to be a hit. If you like to have fun, why not try a game of the “chicken dance”. If you love to have some fun and laughter at your party, and want the dance floor to be filled, you may want to try this.

Stick numbers beneath the chairs. Get the guests to look under their chairs when the number is announced. Depending on your seating arrangement, you can choose to repeat the numbers at the same table, or at different tables. You can have various numbers from ‘1′ to ‘10′.

Before the number is announced, the guests would check under their seats to find out the numbers they had been assigned to. Post-it notes and masking tape will be suitable. All the ‘5’s would have to go to the dance floor and do the chicken dance. This is great if you wish to let your guests mingle with other guests, especially if you have many singles at your wedding. This is a great activity if many of your guests are not acquainted with others.

Multiplication
Get your friends and relatives in your wedding group to ask other guests onto the dance floor to get the party started. After a short dance, each guest who is already at the dance floor will have to head out to the tables and bring in one more guest, until all the guests are at the dance floor.

Hire A Dance Teacher
Many wedding couples take up dancing lessons so that they can vow the crowd with their slick dance moves. Why not invite the dance teacher to teach simple steps to the crowd? Or if you have a great friend who is great at dancing and willing to help you at your wedding, then ask him or her to do this.

Bringing a dance teacher for the wedding is one activity that has been increasingly popular over the years. Before getting everyone to dance, the dance teacher will demonstrate the simple dance moves, such as disco rock, latin dance, hiphop, before getting everyone to dance when the music starts.

Having a dance teacher do a bit of teaching not only livens up the reception right from the start, but it gets people out on the dance floor who might otherwise be too self-conscious normally to get out there and let it all hang out. Having that will make your guests feel that they are confident enough before they dance officially.

These ideas are quite affordable, so if you are on a tight wedding budget, then you can simply think of these ideas to get your guests onto the dance floor instead of hiring expensive bands or performers to liven up the mood.
