Today, live music is sort of a thing of the past, and wedding dances are almost always done by DJs with a stack of CDs and a pile of amps intended to shake the walls. People don’t go unless they’re invited. Polkas and old-time waltzes don’t get played unless there’s a very special request. Chicken dances and “YMCA” are sort of standard, and people seldom hold each other. The dancers do their own things, hardly any two alike. In the “old days” when a waltz was played, everybody waltzed; when they played a polka, everybody did the polka. Ah, the good old days.
