No room for dancing!

I was stressing about this topic pretty hard last week. I think it's mostly resolved now...

Yeah, dancing like this. :P Source
Actually it was the first picture I liked when I googled "dance."

Our reception space is just big enough for our dinner tables, and when we booked the space we were told that we'd have to break down tables for dancing space. Everyone made it sound fine and dandy and like everybody did that. But now thinking about it more concretely, the logistics are yucky.

• Enter
• Salad course
• Meal course
• Our cake is our dessert, so cut the cake?
• Serve cake?
• Pause, break down tables.
• Formal dances while half the folks stand around with no tables? (we're leaving the chairs on the edges)
• Start the par-tay

Yuck.

This will be the energy level for our dancing!

After two looooooong emails to our caterer & DJ (the two folks who had made this sound all hunky dory), I think we've worked it out as follows.

• Enter
• Salad
• Meal
• Serve & Clear two/three strategic tables first, the head table (they can go mingle) and the siblings table (bc well, you can kick your sibs out of their seats)
• While the other tables are finishing eating/taking a break/restroom, etc. breakdown the two now empty tables and make a dance floor -- They said it takes ~10 mins.
• First dance/father daughter
• Start the par-tay
• After 45 mins or so, stop the par-tay to cut/serve cake
• Back to dancing...

Better? Or still awkward? Help!!!!!!!
