“Cha Cha Slide” – DJ Casper
The “Cha Cha Slide” is oftentimes one person’s favorite wedding song while it can simultaneously be another person’s most hated wedding song. However, if your guest list is one that you think might dance to this, trust us when we say they absolutely WILL dance to this song! It’s a tried and true icebreaker song that is clean, fun, and everyone can dance to.
“Cupid Shuffle” – Cupid
Just like “Cha Cha Slide”, “The Cupid Shuffle” is an absolute wedding staple and most people either hate or love the song. It’s a clean song that can get everyone up to dance without insulting or offending anyone at the wedding and is an absolute crowd-pleaser.
“Wobble” – V.I.C.
This line dance song is a great late-night song that still fits the category of being a line dance. Often times with this one the DJ might come out and teach it to get people going. However, once everybody’s in rhythm and knows what they’re doing it’s smooth sailing from there! The Wobble is a great hit to start the late-night songs off and then we can go into some other fun songs either in the Top 40s, 2000’s Hip/Hop, or today’s Hip/Hop.
“Y.M.C.A” – The Village People
Ever since Y.M.C.A hit the billboards in 1978 this disco song won the hearts of millions! With its fun upbeat tempo, easy-to-sing words, and large hand movements this group dance will be a sure hit at your wedding no matter your guest’s age!
“Fancy Like” – Walker Hayes
This viral hit became a favorite for its fun lyrics, catchy beat, and simple dance moves. Fancy Like is perfect for groups because the movements are relaxed and adaptable.

“Cotton-Eye Joe” – Rednex
I don’t know many people that have not heard of the song Cotton-Eye Joe. Its folky tune and lyrics are fun but are sure to get stuck in your head!

This fast-paced country line dance is one of the most requested country line dances still to date. This song has a beat that draws the crowd in and simple steps to remember. Don’t be fooled by the simple steps though because this song speeds up!
“Gangnam Style” – PSY
Gangnam Style broke records around the world, and its quirky, horse-riding dance move is still as recognizable as ever. This K-pop hit is perfect for groups because it’s fun, playful, and lets everyone channel their inner “Oppa Gangnam Style.” It’s especially great for breaking the ice at events, as the moves are straightforward and endlessly entertaining to watch.

Crank That by Soulja Boy is such a fun song to play especially if many of your friends grew up dancing to this during Jr. High or High School dances. This is one of the best late-night wedding reception dances that, just like “Jump on It”, most people know right away how to dance to!
“Twist and Shout” – The Beatles
Name a better song to pay homage to the greatest rockers of all time. This song is filled with rock ‘n’ roll dance moves that will liven up any crowd. This Beatles hit is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
“Electric Slide” – Marcia Griffiths
