Mexican Wedding Dance

Just like American weddings, Mexicans also have a dance after the wedding ceremony.  Typically the families would rent out a dance hall and host the reception at the hall. The hall would be decorated with a Mexican theme and wedding favors would be at the center of every table. Guest would then be seated at either round tables or the normal rectangular folding tables with a nice linen skirt. If food is being catered then a line would be formed and guest would slowly go through the line and prepare their own plates. Right after the meal there usually is a dance involving the bride and groom. After everybody has seen the newlywed couple dance for the first time the DJ would invite guest to join them.

This would be the start of the Mexican wedding dance. During the dancing the disc jockey would play music that would involve everybody on the dance floor. This would be like the Boot Scooting Boogie by Brooks and Dunn. Some of the dances involve spinning your partner during which Tejano music plays. Some famous artists in the past have been: Ram Herrera, David Lee Garza y Los Musicales, Intocable, Los Tigres Del Norte, Selena y los Dinos, Grupo Limite, David Marez, Xelencia, La Fiebre, Elsa Garcia, Jennifer Pena, La Sombra, Los Palominos, Duelo, La Tropa F, Fama, Ramon Ayala, Michael Salgado, Roberto Pulido, Patsy Torress, Jay Pérez, Joe Posada, Gary Hobbs, Fito Olivares, Pesado, Los Angeles Azules, Los Bukis, La Mafia, Little Joe, Liberacion, Mazz, and of course Emilio Navaira.

I can keep going but these artists have enough songs to keep the dance going all night long. If you are considering having a dance after your Mexican wedding ceremony then you need to look into having the right music playing. With the right music playing your guest will want to get up on their own and starting dancing.
