Dancing The Hora

Answer 3

This is directly from my text from the Wedding Consultant course I took:

"The music played at the reception doesn't have to be only Jewish music, but can be any kind of lively music to encourage the crowd to celebrate. The Hora, or traditional dance of celebration is performed at the wedding celebration. The dance, which is most widely recognized is when the guests lift the bride and groom, who are sitting in chairs, on their shoulders. There's no set time for this dance to happen. This dance usually happens randomly throughout the reception. Sometimes the couple will be spun around each other, holding onto the ends of a hankerchief, or they may be paraded around the room."

As you can see, there's no set meaning for this dance and there's really no pattern to it. As for other dances, this is the only traditional one but if you check with a DJ, they can tell you what other songs they would typically play at a Jewish wedding.
