Anything latin or swing always works. We had a few swing songs at our reception, and there were a few couples who OWNED the dance floor. My brother-in-law literally FLIPPED my husband's sister (it was easy....he's 6'7", she's 5'6"), while they danced, and some of our other friends were doing the whole spinning thing. It was like we had professionals on the floor. It rocked.

Yeah, all of our friends are like that and Don and I can do the flips. It'll be cool.

Hahaha...I can too, but there was NO way I was trying it in my wedding dress. I was having a hard enough time keeping the dress up, hahaha.

I actually had them alter the dress to be a little higher than usual so we can dance more easily. That would be the ultimate; flipping me in a huge dress with a cathedral train bustled to my butt.

I should have had them do that.....I actually didn't have mine fitted at all, which was great. We had a very short engagement, so time was of the utmost importance. But walking down the aisle that day proved to be more difficult than I had thought....the front of my dress kept wanting to go under my toes. It was fine after it was bustled.....until the weight on the back of the dress wanted to keep pulling the top down, hahaha. Fun wedding times.

if you do play any latin songs, "suavamente" and "besame" are good ones

I don't know anything about latin music - we're leaving that category to the DJ.
