I also suggested it to FH when I saw my first YouTube clip, but he said no way.
I KNOW its the dancing factor. Neither of us can dance. I just got a DVD of dance lessons from Netflix, but I know it still isn't going to happen for him.
I think instead I would like to just stand there in the pose of "we can't dance circle step turn" and then bust out into salsa dancing or something with the music, but I get the feeling he is going to want to stick to our 80's music theme and do the dopy circle step turn thing.
My FH and I are having the traditional "four minutes of swaying" first dance. Mainly because we've only danced a slow dance together once, and that was over five years ago (and to "Lady In Red", I'd really like to dance to a better song! Haha!)
But, I'm trying to convince my FH and his groomsmen to do THE "TONTO, JUMP ON IT" DANCE sometime during the reception. We'll see. Haha.
I wanted to do the jump on it dance at some point because its somewhat of a silly inside joke between me and FH. Who knows where we will work it in tho
I always thought it would be cool to do a salsa dance and get a cute slinky white outfit that the girls normally wear with salsa dancing. Then, I thought about the costs associated with an outfit like that as well as the fact I wouldn't want to go through the hassle and change out of my dress. Hah. It would be really cool though. :D
I want my MOH and his Best Man to join us for a traditional quadrille...but that is because I am a history major and massive nerd. Nobody else would understand it and would think it was weird.....as would FH, MOH, and BM. So....we'll probably either do a waltz or possible start in the swaying in circles deal to "Wonderwall" by Oasis and then segue into a swing dance.
I am DEFINITELY planning on something like this. I have two ideas.
Idea the first: FH and I take some swing dance classes (he is REALLY into it, seems abnormal compared to most guys who don't want to dance at all, haha), and then we teach two other couples in our wedding party some moves. We do two minutes of swaying then bust out the swing dance.
Idea the second: Sway for two minutes, then have a succession of short clips of various songs that are funny and dance-able (ie michael jackson, chicken dance, something from Grease, I'll probably need suggestions from you all in the future). I saw a video on youtube where the bride and groom "serve" one another. The bride starts doing the chicken dance, for example, then the groom sort of drives her off the dance floor doing "kung fu fighting", then she comes back with another dance, etc. Only I'd want the entire bridal party to do a guys vs girls thing. The problem would be getting some of them to do it though...lol.

Our problem is that we are just so incredibly uncoordinated! I can imagine us tripping over each other doing our thing.
