Themed weddings and unique weddings have become all the rage this season. It’s practically a competition to see who can have the most one-of-a-kind wedding in the world. From an outrageous first wedding dance to a special destination wedding, couples are getting more and more creative when it comes to giving their guests a day to remember.

How can you take your wedding to the next level without breaking the bank? For a fun and interactive treat for your friends and family, offer a group dance lesson to your guests! Not only is it a totally cool and different activity that everyone can participate in, but it can make your wedding better on so many levels! Here are just a few ways:

Have a Wedding Theme? Enhance It!

Country themed weddings have been popular for years. If your dream wedding is filled with Cowboy boots and hay bales, why not kick it up a notch with a Country Two Step or Country Swing dance lesson? It’ll help your guests have a clue on the dance floor of what to do when their favorite Country tunes come on during the reception. If you’re having a Latin themed wedding, think about a Salsa or Bachata dancing lesson. Nothing will compliment a salsa bar quite like a salsa dance lesson.

Guaranteed Participation on the Dance Floor.

Every wedding has that group of people who don’t feel up to joining in on the dance floor. To be completely honest, most of those wall flowers don’t get on the floor because they don’t want to make a fool of themselves or look silly. Providing a group dance class can help ease some of those worries by teaching everyone a few basic steps to a popular dance style. It may not get everyone up on every song, but some of the people you least expect to dance might be able to build up the courage after a class.

Break the Ice!

Weddings can be difficult sometimes when relatives haven’t met yet. A lot of dance instructors use classes as an opportunity to allow people to dance with multiple partners. This lets both sides of the newly formed family mingle with ease. After the class, they’re more likely to ask the partners they learned with to dance with a little confidence under their belts, so your entire family can continue to get to know one another throughout the whole of the night.

It’s the Wedding Favor That Keeps on Giving.

Most gifts from the bride and groom to their wedding guests involve trinkets with the bridal couples’ initials and/or picture. The picture frames, candles, bookmarks, etc. tend to end up in the trash eventually. Giving your guests a dance lesson isn’t tangible, but it’s something they can (and hopefully will!) use after your wedding day. If anything, it’s definitely a wedding favor they will never forget.
