I just wanted to formally and publicly apologize to all you Merkins. Jerome was kind enough to privately point out my error in name calling. So I thought I'd fess up. And since he's happy to listen to CBC <who wouldn't?!?> you can all witness my dubbing him an honourary Canuck!

Nice to see another Canadian posting on this list. Although I've been here since it's inception, I must confess to typically lurking. I just can't keep up with the volume. But do let me know if you find out anything and I'll do the same for you. You may be in the position of needing insurance soon. >Cheers, John > >J.D.

I agree with both Beth and Amy on this. Dance before cake. Let them work up an appetite. In my experience, once they sit and have cake, you'll be hard pressed to get most people back up on the dance floor. >I like to lead from a toast, with everyone gathered round standing, to >taking hands in a circle for the first dance, and then having the cake >after the third or fourth dance. >Background music during the cake eating, then a few more dances for the >die-hards. I really like the toast idea! I have a wedding to call in July. I'll have to try that. Though, I try to go 4 - 5 dances before cake. Depends on the crowd. I typically start with what I call the Snake Dance, which is a simple single line of people holding hands weaving in and around tables adding people to the line as we go, like a conga line. I encourage people that they only need to walk to the beat of the music, one step for every beat, and they can dance. And I have the band play some really hot tunes. It's an easy way to get people who are reluctant and sitting in their chairs, up on their feet and participating. If they can walk, they can dance, and they all walked into the wedding. I eventually wind them into a big circle, stop the music and then teach a simple circle mixer like La Bastringue. I can usually keep them on the dance floor after that. >just my 1/50 of a buck. Worth the same amount of a Canadian loonie these days. Woo hoo! Bev
