Dance Fever! Great Songs to Get Your Guests Dancing
/
A first dance with your new husband is a special and romantic time, but when you’re finished you want your guests to get out on the dance floor. More importantly, you want them to stay on the dance floor. One bad song can send everyone to the bar, never to return again. There are songs we all know you should never play at your wedding: The Chicken Dance, The Macarena, etc. It’s also good to stay away from heavy metal, gangsta rap and, according to DJs, Dave Matthews. (You can’t really dance to it.) You’re looking for songs that appeal to everyone, from your college friends to your elderly Aunt June. I have come up with 20 songs — both classic and modern — that will get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there.
