1. First Dance
You can get a crash course and choose a suitable dance routine if you are not already a dancer. It’s a wedding tradition in the west. One of the dances to pick is the slow ballroom Rumba. Its steps are kept sensually compact with some bending and straitening of the knee to achieve the hip-swaying movements over the legs. Another one to consider is the Waltz which is a progressive ballroom dance where dancers glide in perpetual circles and are positioned close together.

4. Karaoke
Set up a karaoke session with a twist to prevent repeating boring tunes from a particular genre. Arrange with your friends/ relatives (who like to sing, or who is a karaoke kaki) before hand and prepare the songs. It is like an informal performance so they will be less nervous. If you could get a group of them to sing together, it will be super fun!

5. Bollywood dance Flash Mob style
Flash Mob was initially mobilized by social media where a group of people come together in a public place, perform an unusual act for entertainment. To have a Bollywood Flash Mob in your wedding, you have to organize it with the participants to practice the dance steps. The interesting part is the act starts with one person, other dancers join in later gradually.
