No male guests dance with the kallah, c”v, at a Mitzvah Tantz. Only the father of the kallah and the Choson do. And even then it is supposed to be only with immediate relatives around. Just because some people call a dance a mitzvah tantz and do unacceptable things doesn’t make it a mitzvah tantz. Other relatives dance only holding the gartel. The mitzvah tantz is brought down in numerous Seforim HaKedoshim. (i.e. Bach – Even Haezer 21, Chelkas Mechokek, Beis Shmuel, etc.) If you have an issue with it take it up with the gedolei poskim who permitted or even mandated it.
