Popular 2nd and 3rd Dances

Since the 2nd and 3rd dance is usually when you have the guests joining on the dance floor we find popular choices include many songs that build up the party atmosphere after starting slowly like;

Frankie Vallie - Can't take my eyes off you
Medley/Warnes - I've had the time of my life
Barry White - Can't get enough of your love baby
Marvin Gaye - aint no mountain high enough
Stevie Wonder - Signed Sealed Delivered
The Commodores - You are

Other popular choices are songs that are both slow enough for couples to dance to but fast enough that singles can dance in a group to such as;

Jamiroquai - You give me something
John Paul Young - Love is in the air
Alicia Keys - No One
Michael Buble - Sway
The Real Thing - You to me are everything
Al Green - Lets stay together
Sam Cooke - What a wonderful world
The Temptations - My Girl
Lionel Richie - All Night Long

Another popular choice for the 3rd dance in particular is to throw in a party starting track like;

Michael Jackson - Don't stop till you get enough, the way you make me feel, thriller etc
Whitney Houston - I wanna dance with somebody
Black Eyed Peas - Lets get it started
Bob Sinclar - Everybody dance now
Pink - Get the party started
Wham - wake me up before you go go

Remember that many of the cake cutting and first dance suggestions are also still fantastic choices for the 2nd and 3rd dances of the night.
