Reception Dancing

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the "party started". I was at a wedding a couple weeks ago and it took awhile to get people on the dance floor and EVEN more effort to get them to stay there. Now...the problem could have been that the majority of the guests were older (mostly family)....

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the "party started". I was at a wedding a couple weeks ago and it took awhile to get people on the dance floor and EVEN more effort to get them to stay there. Now...the problem could have been that the majority of the guests were older (mostly family). The youngest people were the bridal party and their S.O. and a handful of guests, but past a couple of line dance songs in the beginning...no one was dancing.

For my wedding the guest list is heavier on the older guest side...BUT I do have a good amount of young people i would say 40% of the wedding guest list is 35 and below. But I am afraid the dance floor will be empty and I want to GET DOWN during my wedding. So for anyone that has been to a wedding recently or had a wedding recently can you give any tips on how to get the party started and how to keep it going? I am 32 btw and my wedding is scheduled to start at 2:30 with the dancing beginning at 5:30pm

    No one really danced at my friends wedding. I think it was a combo of the DJ (He didn't really engage the crowed) and the couple themselves. Their first dance looked like an awkward middle school dance and neither one of them danced after those songs.

    Having people enjoy their time and get up and dance was important to me. My DJ company recommended that we have a DJ and an MC. That way the DJ can focus on the music and the MC can focus on the guests.
