Before you bust a move on the dance floor and show more than 100 strangers how well you can do the "worm" to the wedding music, you should be well versed in the do's and dont's of wedding dance etiquette.
Don't...
- Jump onto the dance floor and start shaking your booty before the bride and groom has had their first dance
- Guess what? It's still not your time to shine. Parent dances are next. The bride usually dances with her father and the groom with his mother. When the situation arises, step parents cut in to partake.
- When other guests are invited to join in on the fun, remember not to be an attention hog. People came to see the bride and groom and want to celebrate with them --- not watch a stranger do the hustle all night long
Do...
- Participate in group dances if you're a little shy
- Respect other guests' space on the dance floor
- Invite others to dance with you
- Let loose and have fun (within reason..)
