Dancing On Your Wedding Day
Dancing is getting popular at weddings. Often, the father of the bride will dance with her and then we have the couple’s first dance. Since you can let your hair down during this occasion, it doesn’t matter whether you are a guest, or a member of the wedding party.
Chicken Dance
Would you want to add some fun elements to the dance floor? Some activities are sure to be a hit. For those who prefer to have fun, you can 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.
Put numbers under the chairs. Tell|Ask] your guests to check under their seats when the number is shouted out. Just repeat the numbers at different tables based on your seating plan. You can have ‘1’, ‘2’ or even up to ’10’.
Assuming the host announces the number ‘5’, all the guests would look under their chairs. 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 helpful if you want your guests to mingle with more people apart from the group they have been sticking to. If you have many guests who do not know other people at the party, this will be great.
Multiplication
Get your friends and relatives in your wedding group to ask other guests onto the dance floor to get the party started. After one round of dancing, each guest at the dance floor will invite another guest in to dance, untill everyone is dancing together.
Hire A Dance Teacher
Many brides and grooms learn how to dance so that they can show off their groovy moves. Hire a dance teacher to demonstrate some simple steps to the audience, and get them on their feet? 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.
One dance floor activity that’s gaining popularity is to bring in a dance teacher for the wedding reception. As a kind of pre-dance activity, the teacher will quickly walk people through their paces on the dance floor, perhaps teaching a bit of the waltz or, for something completely different, a little bit of the tango, before the music officially begins and dancing commences.
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. And practically speaking, it will likely make the wedding guests feel more confident in their skills before the “official” dancing begins.
These ideas are quite affordable, so if you are on a tight wedding budget, then you can simply use these ideas to get your guests onto the dance floor instead of hiring expensive bands or performers to liven up the mood.
