Dancing is an essential component at most wedding receptions. We await the couple’s “first dance” and the bride’s special dance with her father. It’s also a place to get loose and funky, if you are a guest or a member of the wedding ceremony party.

But what if the wedding ceremony planners decided to add some fun and surprise to the dance floor by adding fun pursuits there? This does not mean a rousing version of the “Bunny Hop”, which, while possibly essential, is hardly unique.

The’re, yet, many fun games and activities you can contribute to your dance floor pursuits that are certain to be a hit.

Try a fun game of the “chicken dance”. Ok, so that doesn’t sound too original. But if the majority of your invited guests are just sitting at their tables, watching a couple of brave couples dancing, or just finishing their meals, you may wish to get everyone up and having fun. Try this game.

The DJ announces a number. Everyone looks under their chair, where there’s a number. Dependent on the amount of guests at the wedding ceremony, there may be only numbers “1″ and “2″ or more, up to 5.

So, say the DJ announces number “4″. Each individual checks under their chair to see what their number is. These numbers can be written simply on a piece of masking tape and affixed to the underside of the chairs when the reception is being set up. Each “4″ in this scenario will go to the dance floor to do the chicken dance with the other “4s”. Not only does this get people out of their chairs and on to the dance floor, they get to know other wedding venue guests they might not otherwise know.

One dance floor activity that’s gaining popularity is to involve a dance teacher for the wedding ceremony reception. As a kind of pre-dance activity, the instructor will quickly walk people through their paces on the dance floor, perhaps teaching a bit of the waltz or, for something completely different, a moment 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 uncomfortable generally to get about and let it all hang out. And effectively speaking, it will in all probability make the wedding ceremony guests feel more confident in their skills prior to the “official” dancing begins.

Another fun activity to get everyone on the dance floor, including even the most reticent, is one thing you can refer to as the “snowball” dance. This is a good method to jumpstart the dancing at the beginning of the evening.

Here’s how the “snowball” dance works. The wedding party, bride and bridegroom included, will go to the dance floor for a fun dance. The music for this dance ought to be fast, something with a disco beat or a fast song that most people have at least a passing familiarity with. After a bit of wedding dancing, the music stops. The female members of the wedding party move into the crowd and restore one male each. The male members of the marriage ceremony party do the same, but they yield female guests. The dancing then begins again. This is done once more until everyone invited are dancing. It’s truly a snowball effect!
