Islamically all dancing is haram, there is not justifications. If you have people that dance at your wedding, if you dance yourself it is all haram. People are just trying to justify it these days but if you are Muslim it is haram, there is not grey area, this is the reality and we must not find ways to justify it. Now whether your family allows it or not that is just culturally driven and blending in with society, it is a weakness/sin many humans have unfortunately. But a true Islamic wedding any where in the world the bride should not be displayed on stage. The true nature of Islam does not have Hindu, Sikh, Christian traditions involved in its ceremonies or events.

Of course, I agree that in a wedding that’s truly Islamic, there shouldn’t be dancing in a mixed enviornment and the bride shouldn’t be displayed. But this could also be said about almost every desi Muslim wedding we have. How many brides wear short sleeves and show their neck area? Almost all desi weddings have stages where the bride sits all dressed up for everyone (including men) to look at. Realistically, how many weddings are truly segregated between the genders?

I don’t have an issue with people being completely against dancing b/c its UnIslamic. But what I find interesting is that the majority of the same people have no problem with many other aspects of a wedding that’re also UnIslamic. The people that will make negative comments about a bride/groom dancing b/c its unIslamic…the same people won’t say anything about the event being mixed, or the bride showing her hair/arms etc. (** btw, I’m not saying that you do this. Its just a general observation).

P.S. Maybe I missed it but I don’t think anyone is saying or hinting that dancing is NOT haram in Islam.
