If you are having your Wedding at Stonegate, then you need Ameritune DJs and Video, our offices are only about 2 miles away, so we’re real convenient, and we’re really good! While playing the reception of Noreen and Joe Smrz, who had their wedding at Stonegate Conference center in Hoffman Estates, we had a request to play a song where everyone could take a turn dancing with the Bride. Noreen was dancing now and then, but wasn’t in the room at the time, so I waited till she got back and was on the dancefloor with her friends. I asked her if she was up for it and she was, so I played I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock and Roll and dedicated a special dance for all the Bride’s friends and relatives to come up and take a turn dancing with her.
As you can see, this was well received and as it was kind of late in the party (after a few hours of open bar!) they were really getting into it, clapping, and getting rowdy with The Bride. It’s kind of hard to see, but she’s dancing with her grandmother here. I wished they would have had a videographer, to preserve that memory. They all had a turn though, and it really injected a lot of energy on the dancefloor. I thought about asking Joe, the Groom if he wanted a dance with all of his friends and family, but he wasn’t really a dancer, and I didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable. If he was a dancer, there are a few choices to play, such as Another One Bites The Dust, I’m too Sexy, Sex Machine, Just A Gigolo, He’s The Greatest Dancer, The Wanderer, etc… Doing specialty dances with your guests is not a new idea. There is a variation called a dollar dance, where people pay money to dance with the bride and groom. Or a Snowball Dance, where the Bride and Groom begin by dancing with each other, then break to find new partners, over and over, so that everyone ends up dancing with everyone. Any kind of interactive dance is usually good for your party, as sometimes people need a little help on the dancefloor.
