yeah if youre the emotional type you'll tend to be emotional after the chosson kallah tantz too.

Unlike in Poilisher/Chagas Chassidic circles, in Chabad, the mitzvah tantz is considered completely inappropriate.

That was really nice and inspiring, so many chassidim too, it almost looks like a rally! Is there always a big crowd?

at rebbeshe chasunas there is always a very big crowd, all the chassidim.. at other weddings its usually just the close family that stays for mitzva tantz (grandparents, uncles, aunts, siblings, cousins...)

Where are the woman? they are either on one side of the shul and are not included in the video or they are upstairs in the womens section (this video is taken in bobov shul in b.p.)

heared in some of your circles, ppl forbid to take any videos or pictures, can you clarify that?

there are some rebbes that forbid they're chassidim from taking pics of them. dont know the exact reason. I know that in viznitz the rebbe said that if any one makes chasunah w/o a photographer then he'll come dance mitzva tantz!

(I only see her hair being veiled, is her face as well?)

in bobov (and by any not rebbeshe wedding) the face is usually uncovered there are some rebbeshe pple that do have the kallah wear a thin (see through) veil at the mitzv atantz

Does everyone merit to dance with your Rebbe?

most rebbes do not go to every chassids wedding/mitzva tantz, only to the real close ones.
this wedding was from a chassid that is a ger tzedek and the rebbe married him off.

thanks for the clarifications! though the chassan/kallah I saw weren't too serious (they were smiling and gazing into each other's eyes). they're not full-fledged chasidim, though.

613- chassidish people have a different relationship before they get married, but I'd BE MORTIFIED were I to have had to have a mitzva tantz!!!!!!!!! To me being with my husband is private, I'd be sooooo embarrassed!!!!!

My father danced with me at home the night b4 our wedding, bc he said it wasnt tzanua to dance together in public.

too bad the video didn't show the end where the chassan and kallah "dance" together. I would have liked to see that.

beautiful! I can't believe it's up on the internet!

btw, most Rebbeshe Chasunos do not allow bachurim to stay for mitzva tantz--just married men.

I think the mitzva tanz is "SPECIAL". For someone like me, who is brought up knowing that I'll have a mitzva tanz it is totally not embarrassing, on the contrary it's something to look forward too. We are told that it's a Eis Ratzon and that it is a very holy moment.
The Rebbish mitzva Tanz are not the typical mitzva tanz by regular wedding. Usually only very close family members stay. The kallah dances with a rope with her uncles, brothers, BIL, etc. It is so special. Then after each mitzva Tanz (This minhag is optional)she goes over to the women of the men she just danced with and gives mazel tov and a kiss to each of them and they all give her brochos. It is so nice.
I felt special dancing with my grandfather (without gartel) it is such a special moment. Then I danced with my father (without gartel). It was a rare moment, so holy and so emotional. I then hugged and kissed my mother and we cried of emotion, joy and simcha. I did the same with my MIL. Then comes the Chosson Kallah dance. It is supposed to be the holiest moment and we then have in mind all the tefillos and yeshuas Klal Yisroel needs. We are specifically reminded to ask for the Geulah. Who has time to even think of being embarrassed when you have a rare oppertunity to ask for the ultimate yeshua for Hashem and Klal yisroel.
You want to make sure to utilize this (hopefully) once in a life time moment.
Bottom line, when you are brought up with something you look at it totally different than someone who is new to it.

Wow! I guess putting it that way certainly makes it a unique experiance.

BTW (don't know if it was mentioned b4) But in brief; What is the inyan of the Mitzvah Tanz?
I'm not talking about kalla-chosson, kalla-father, rather kalla-Rebbe, or kalla-brother (esp. bil <-- tznius!!?)

One of my more modern cousins 'wanted' a Mitzva tanz. She had seen it at our families chaseedishe weddings and liked it. It was the weirdest mitzva tanz I had ever seen. The choson [and most of his family] had never seen one in their life.
