coast swing. we have also seen a normal “slow dance”, which has now become the norm.
there are 2 different times of the reception schedule where this normally takes place.
the most common time is performed after the dinner meal and toasting. since the dance floor is usually empty, it makes for a great stage to have all the special dances performed one after the other. the order is generally first dance, father and daughter dance, and the mother and son dance.
another option would be to have the first dance follow immediately after the grand entrance/introduction. then the dinner meal would follow, unless they are doing the toasting next.
