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 like to add some excitement to the dance floor? Some activities are sure to be a hit. 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.

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.

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. 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. It is also good if you have a lot of guests who do not know each other.

Multiplication
Get your friends and relatives in your wedding group to ask other guests onto the dance floor to get the party started. 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 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.

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. Having that will make your guests feel that they are confident enough before they dance officially.

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.
