To Cha Cha Slide or Not: Participation Dances
Top 5 Line Dances for Weddings
Line dances used to be one of the most popular forms of dancing at weddings, but as wedding trends have evolved over the years, this once-popular dance style has largely faded away, to be replaced by a more party-like atmosphere. That being said, line dances can still make for a fun addition to your big day if you choose the one that fits your personality and that your guests will enjoy learning and performing. Here are five top-line dances that you could choose to incorporate into your wedding reception.
1) Copper Head Road - Steve Earle
This line dance is fairly easy and has a fun, celebratory feel. It's sure to make your wedding reception memorable! If you'd like a little extra practice before pulling it out at your wedding, check out the video below! Copper Head Road features that classic country sound with fast-paced action and simple steps; once you've got them down, everyone in attendance will have a blast getting out on that dance floor.
2) Wobble - V.I.C.
Whether you’re a fan of late 2000's Hip-Hop or not, you can’t deny that Wobble is a great song to dance to. This line dance is relatively easy and can be done by anyone. Best of all, it will fit in perfectly at any wedding! Even if your guest's don't know the steps, it's still a fun song to dance too. If you're hoping to throw a memorable dance party at your next wedding reception, Wobble should definitely be on your list.
3) Cupid Shuffle - Cupid
Cupid Shuffle is a classic line dance that is slowly coming back into style. Though it’s a bit slower and more repetitive than other line dances, its simple steps mean you can lead or follow on your wedding day with ease.
4) The Git Up - Blance Brown
If you are looking to host a fun and energetic dance party at your wedding reception, then The Git Up by Blanco Brown is a great choice. A little slow, but the biggest benefit to this song is the mix between hip hop and country. It's a great transition song to move from a country set to a higher energy dance party. This song features some complex steps that everyone should be able to master by the second chorus!
5) Electric Slide - Marcia Griffiths
The oldest song on the list is also the one that started it all: the Electric Slide. This song is probably one of the first dances people learn when they’re young. The Electric Slide originates from the early 80s, but remained a wildly popular dance through 90s and 00s as well. The Electric Slide can be danced with a group or on your own, which makes it great for wedding line dances. You can also switch out the song but keep the steps if you use Footloose by Kenny Rogers.
