Once you’ve stepped on a considerable number of feet, you can simply repeat the same exact steps over and over to your heart’s content
N ot everyone loves to dance at chasunahs. For people to get up and dance in public without worrying the least bit about their dancing skills they usually have to be quite confident. Or as some mental health professionals like to call it “fully intoxicated.”
In an effort to enable more people to join in chasunah dancing I’ve compiled the most common dances at weddings (on the men’s side) along with clear step-by-step instructions how to master them.
(best performed with both eyes closed).
This dance (done immediately after the kabbalas panim and the chuppah) is fairly simple consisting of a constant happy clapping motion while simultaneously stepping backwards away from the chassan. Prior to executing the actual stepping part it’s best to make sure you’re fully aware of where there’s open space behind you and where there are feet. All clear? Perfect. Now carefully step back on those feet.
Once you’ve stepped on a considerable number of feet you can simply repeat the same exact steps over and over to your heart’s content. Unless of course the people behind you have chosen to improvise the HCBS (Happy Clappy Backwards Step) with the modern twist most popular among all rows of dancers (sans the first row) and known as “The Almost Accidental Forward Kick.”
