When my father [not at all Chassidish; see my username!] was a bachur, he was at a very good friends [also not Chassidish, but “Chassidish inclined”] Chasuna, and the Bobover Rebbe zt”l (R’ Shloime) was dancing Mitzvah Tanz, and my father and some friends were standing on chairs and watching the Rebbe.
R’ Matisyahu Solamon shlit”a was at the Chasuna, and he walked over and tapped my father and said to him “Is there anything to see?” And smiled. My father got off his chair.
I have a Litvishe grandfather who refused to dance Mitzva Tanz by his own sons Chasuna, even though there was a Mitzva Tanz because the Kallas side insisted. My Grandfather just arranged with the badchan not to call him up.
