Slow Dance Games?

moscimo, on February 11, 2016 at 11:01 AM

Posted in Planning 35

I'm looking for a game that will encourage couples and singles to dance with one another in brief (say 30 to 90 seconds) intervals. The reason is we are doing a walk down memory lane with some old 90's slow songs that are awesome and fun, but we don't want to kill the vibe as often slow songs do....

I'm thinking like having somebody be a murderer that slowly kills people off until they are discovered. Or like having a few of the girls or guys have a stash of drink tickets that get handed out during the slow dance song playlist.

I don't want it to be like a creepy thing, just a fun thing that encourages the slow dancing a la' the 90's high school days.

Does this just sound lame or fun? Thoughts or other ideas?

    Obviously you know all of this is a bad idea. Or are a troll. Or just insane.

    No. Adults don't need or (mostly) like being coerced into things they don't want to do. Let it unfold organically or let it go.

    Drink tickets? Murder?

    Time to rethink and remember that this is your wedding.

    This is really weird, like everyone else is saying. maybe you could do an anniversary dance and use a 90s song instead of a more traditional one?

    or just play the damn songs. people will either dance or they wont. please dont play any murder games at your wedding unless you want to be on the receiving end of some serious side eye

    This makes no sense. Why would you want there to be a pretend murdered at your wedding?

    No, I don't like any of this. I would definitely not participate as a guest.

    But wait, what if it was like a zombie outbreak? Patient Zero infects everyone they dance with! Dancing only ends when everyone is a zombie! Hahahahha gosh, I'm going to have to remember this if I am ever in charge of a birthday party or some such event...

    ETA: Alternate versions of this dance could be entitled "The Botulism Dance" Where Patient Zero is actually Aunt Maggie's Chicken Salad, and everyone who dances with the Chicken Salad gets Botulism! Unfortunately that one would only be funny at a Potluck, or maybe it wouldn't be funny??? Smiley winking
