3 Ways To Get Your Wedding Guests Grooving

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. 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 going to extremely popular. Get your guests to let their hair down, and you can try a game of the”chicken dance”. So, if you don’t mind chuckles, and want people to get on the dance floor, you may try this.

Paste numbers under the chairs. When the number is announced, ask your guests to find out what number they have under their seats. Just repeat the numbers at different tables based on your seating plan. You can have ‘1’, ‘2’ or even up 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. If your guests are holding the number ‘5′, then they have to go to the dance floor to 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
A great way to start dancing is to get your wedding group to invite other guests onto the dance floor. 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 brides and grooms learn how to dance so that they can show off their groovy 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.

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 teach the guests some basic steps on the dance floor, perhaps teaching a bit of the waltz or, for something modern, some salsa, 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.
