Dancing is a requisite component at most wedding festivities. We look forward to for the couple's first waltz and not forgetting the bride's special waltz with her father. It's also an opportunity to let go and have some fun, whether you're a wedding guest or one of the official wedding party.

But the wedding emcee can add some fun by including fun activities to the dance floor. And no this take on the "Bunny Hop", which may be essential but is hardly unique.

But there are many other fun activities the wedding mc can include in the dance floor activities that are sure to be a success.

Try a jolly game of the "chicken dance". Okay, so that doesn't sound that original. But if most of the guests are just sitting at their tables, watching a few brave couples dancing you might want to get many more guests up and having fun. Here’s a game you could try.

The MC announces a number. Everyone looks under his or her chair, where there is a number. Depending on the number of guests at the wedding, there could only be numbers "1" and "2" or more, up to 5.

So, say the MC announces number "4". Everybody looks under their chair to see what their number is. Thenumbers can be written simply on a piece of masking tape and fastened to the bottom of the seats when the reception is being set up. Everybody with a number 4 will go onto the dance floor to do the chicken dance with the other "4s". Not only does this get the guests and wedding party out of their seats and on to the dance floor, but they get the chance to mix with other wedding guests they might not otherwise mix with.

Another fun activity to get everybody onto the dance floor, and that includes even the very shy, is something you can refer to as the "snowball" dance. This is an excellent way to jumpstart the dancing at the beginning of the evening.

So what is the “snowball” dance?The MC invites the wedding party, bride and groom included, to head to the dance floor for a fun dance. The music for this dance should have a fairly fast beat, maybe something with a disco beat or a upbeat song that most guests will instantly recognize. After a bit of wedding party dancing, the music will stop. Then the female members of the wedding party go in amongst the guests and bring back one male each. The male wedding party members do the same, but they come back with female guests. The dancing then starts again. This is repeated until all the guests are on the dance floor. It's truly a snowball effect!
