Most wedding receptions include dancing. 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 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. Ask your guests to check under their seats when the number is shouted out. Just repeat the numbers at different tables based on your seating plan. You can have various numbers from ‘1′ to ‘10′.

Assuming the host announces the number ‘5’, all the guests would look under their chairs. 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. If you have many guests who do not know other people at the party, this will be great.

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 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 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 teach the guests some basic steps 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 starts.

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. Your guests get to practise first and make all the mistakes before the official dance begins.

These ideas are quite 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.
