Mitzvah tantz
Mitzvah tantz (lit. "mitzvah-dance". The word "mitzva" generally means "commandment" in both Hebrew and Yiddish, and the word "tantz" means "dance" in Yiddish and German. However, in this case, the word "mitzvah" denotes "custom" because it is not something commanded in the Torah) is the Hasidic custom of the men dancing before the bride on the wedding night, after the wedding feast. Commonly, the bride, who usually stands perfectly still at one end of the room, will hold one end of a long sash or a gartel while the one dancing before her holds the other end. There are times when one of the leading rabbis, usually her father or grandfather, will dance with her as well. The dance is usually a highly charged emotional moment, wherein the dancer prays silently for the couple's success in life.
==Background to the custom==
The custom evidently predates Hasidism, being mentioned first in the medieval ''Machzor Vitri'', and has its basis in the Talmud (Ketubot), where there is an expression ''ketsad merakdim lifnei hakallah'' "how does one dance before the bride?" Although most Orthodox groups oppose this practice, Hasidim have maintained a form of this ancient custom and consider a great honor to be able to dance in front of the bride to give her honor on her wedding night, after the guests have departed. Custom dictates that only close relatives would participate in the dance.
