When it comes to wedding receptions, there’s one surefire way to fill the dance floor: group dances. These songs have an undeniable power to turn even the most rhythmically challenged guests into full-fledged dance enthusiasts. Whether it’s your uncle who hasn’t busted a move since the ‘80s, or your too-cool-for-this cousin who suddenly knows every step, group dances bring out the party spirit in everyone.
Beyond just getting people on their feet, group dances create some of the best wedding reception memories. There’s something magical about an entire room of people moving in sync (or at least attempting to). And let’s be honest, a wedding photographer's dream is capturing a dance floor full of guests flailing, twirling, and stepping in unison. Those are the pictures you’ll laugh at for years to come.
These songs are a powerful weapon in every wedding DJ’s arsenal. They know that after a slow song or a mid-reception food coma, you need something to reignite the energy. A well-timed group dance track can bring the party back to life.
