The entertainment is always important for a wedding reception. If you want it to be a success, dancefloor is the key! Here you will find some traditional and entertaining wedding dances
First Dance
The newlyweds’ first dance performed as husband and wife is performed at the reception, usually after the meal, and may involve various stages where guests and members of the bridal party are invited to join the couple on the dance floor. It can be a great idea to make a Flashmob where the dancers secretly practice the routine and then surprise audience members at the reception by spontaneously running to join the synchronised routine. The dancers usually spring from their seats at seemingly random moments, much to the surprise of unsuspecting spouses and family members.
Father-daughter dance
It is traditionally performed immediately after the bride and groom’s dance, where the bride dances with her father. They may be alone on the dancefloor or with the groom accompanied by his mother or the bride’s mother.
In-law dance
These are not mandatory but some couples like to incorporate them into their first dance. During this time, the groom dances with his bride’s mother and the bride dances with her groom’s father. Depending on how close the families are, the groom’s mother may be dancing with the bride’s father at this time too.
Ballroom dance
A dance which is performed with a partner. Various styles of ballroom dancing have been popular for centuries but some of the ones which have endured include the Foxtrot, the Cha-Cha, the Mambo, the Waltz, the Rumba and the Tango.
Hip-hop
An energetic dancing style performed to hip-hop music. A couple can perform synchronised movements or may perform using a majority of personalised individual movements. Hip-hop often involves breakdancing moves and can be a fun way to set the mood at your reception.
