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 like to add some excitement to the dance floor? Some games are well-liked by many. For those who prefer to have fun, 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.

Put numbers under the chairs. When the number is announced, ask your guests to find out what number they have under their chairs. Depending on your seating arrangement, you can choose to repeat the numbers at the same table, or at different tables. Write down numbers starting from one to ten.

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 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 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 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. Before getting everyone to dance, the dance teacher will demonstrate the basic dance moves, such as waltz, tango or even rumba, before getting everyone to dance when the music starts.

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