Cajun Jewish Wedding Chair Dance

Details

Description

This might be the first time this wedding ritual was ever performed in Eunice, Louisiana. At our Cajun Jewish Wedding we did it all. Just before this we took part in a Cajun tradition: the Money dance which is where guests pin money on you to take you for a spin on the dance floor. It's really a great way to get a dance in with most of your guests in a short time. Now the Chair dance is certainly entertaining for all as you hold on for dear life and try your best to have fun up in the air while possibly drunk friends bob you up and down. We also used sentimental chairs: They were the chairs of my great grandfather. Wooden body with real cow hide seat covers - he was really from the country.
