Question

Are there any special dances?

Answer

Yes, there are two special dances from Latin culture that we are going to be doing. Here is the description from Google on the first one, Money Dance. Bring bills for this dance. How it works: Guests usually line up and pay to dance with the bride or groom, often pinning money onto their clothing. Significance: The money dance is seen as a way for guests to show their support for the newlyweds, offer well wishes for their future, and contribute to their financial well-being. Cultural Variations: While the core concept remains the same, there can be variations in how the money is pinned, the type of music played, and whether the groom also has his own money dance. Here is the description from Google on the second one, the Snake Latin Dance. 1. The Setup: The bride and groom stand on chairs, forming an arch with their joined hands or by holding a long piece of fabric, like the bride's veil. This arch symbolizes their union and the supportive network of family and friends surrounding them. 2. The "Snake": Guests form a line, holding hands or placing hands on each other's shoulders, and this line acts as the "snake." The person at the front leads the "snake" and guides it around the dance floor. Family members often help stabilize the bride and groom on their chairs, demonstrating their support and care. 3. The Dance: Set to upbeat music, often a traditional tune called "La Víbora de la Mar," the "snake" weaves its way through the reception area, including under the arch created by the couple. The music typically starts at a steady pace and then gets faster and faster, increasing the excitement and difficulty for the "snake" to stay together. Guests in the "snake" playfully bump against the couple's chairs, attempting to "break" the arch and separate them.
