It’s quite common to find dancing at wedding receptions. 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 going to extremely popular. Get your guests to let their hair down, and 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.
Paste numbers under the chairs. Tell|Ask] your guests to look under their chairs 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’.
Before the number is announced, the guests would check under their seats to find out the numbers they had been assigned to. You can use masking tape or post-it notes for this. Everyone with the number called out would be invited to hit 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. If you have many guests who do not know other people at the party, this will be great.
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 wedding couples take up dancing lessons so that they can vow the crowd with their slick dance 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 a professional dancer 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. 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.
With a dance teacher around, you get to liven up the ambience and other shy people would actually be tempted to join in and have great fun. Your guests get to practise first and make all the mistakes before the official dance begins.
These ideas are extremely 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.
