Think first: I would say technically no, but in reality yes. Non-socially acceptable public displays of affection (because a public display of affection is defined by what that society accepts) are not permitted. Thus, a couple probably can’t hold hands in Me’ah Shearim or Williamsburg, but in other places no one would bat an eyelash at it. So at a wedding, where everyone is there by the Chassan and Kallah’s invitation, depending on the community, it’s probably not unheard of that they will hold hands or dance together a little. At the vast majority of weddings though, it is probably very much expected that other married couples not dance together.
