Dancing is getting popular at weddings. 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 want to add some fun elements to the dance floor? Exciting activities are lined up and they will be well-received. If you like to have fun, why not 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.

Put 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. Write down numbers starting from one to ten.

Assuming the host announces the number ‘5’, all the guests would look under their chairs. 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 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
A great way to start dancing is to get your wedding group to invite other guests onto the dance floor. 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.

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. 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 think of these ideas to get your guests onto the dance floor instead of hiring expensive bands or performers to liven up the mood.
