Oct 27, 2015 at 23:08 comment added Ze'ev Rabbi Mordechai Willig, who married more than 30 years ago, has said in shiurim that there was dancing by both men and women at his wedding with no mechitza. He makes it sound quite common. @hazoriz, don't engage in revisionist history.
Oct 27, 2015 at 15:53 comment added DanF 30 years ago the women did not dance - Are you kidding me??? What gives you this notion? It's not true, at least not in U.S.

Aug 19, 2015 at 2:15 comment added hazoriz @DanF (As by looking into peoples windows) Their are no customs (no charge), but I know a lot of woman that fell more comfortable this way, and some men that want to go to the wedding without seeing women dancing (they are happy with the separate entrance)
Aug 19, 2015 at 2:05 comment added DanF @hazoriz I don't think the separate entrances and coat rooms have any connection with women's dancing. As for the mechitza used for dancing, between you and me, it separates just the dancing itself, not the watching of the dancing. There are plenty of men and women that cross their respective side of the border without paying customs ;-)
Aug 18, 2015 at 22:42 comment added hazoriz @DoubleAA You are right but it might have caused it, it is easier to have separate entrances to hide the woman dancing (but maybe dancing is not worse then eating since on the 15th of av and on yom Kippur boys looked and the girls dancing, but maybe it is only if the girls are not married)
Aug 18, 2015 at 22:38 comment added Double AA @hazoriz Dancing seems to have nothing to do with the question which asked about separate "seating, entrances and coat rooms".
Aug 18, 2015 at 21:59 comment added hazoriz @DanF Without a mechitza?
Aug 18, 2015 at 21:58 comment added DanF @hazoriz I'm not sure what makes you claim this. I've been to numerous weddings prior to 30 years ago. I know I'm not "supposed to look", but there were plenty of women dancing.

Aug 18, 2015 at 21:38 comment added Double AA As with nearly all matters of modesty, communal norms play a large factor in determining what is appropriate in a given context.
