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. Anyone at the wedding can enjoy themselves fully.
Chicken Dance
Would you like to add some excitement 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.
Stick numbers beneath the seats. Get the guests to look under their chairs when the number is announced. 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. 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. It is also good if you have a lot of guests who do not know each other.
Multiplication
Another way to get people onto the dance floor is to get the wedding group to invite 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. Why not invite the dance teacher to teach simple steps to the crowd? Or if you have a close 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 extremely 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.
