Note that in MO weddings with mixed seating there is, inevitably by omission or commission, by default or design or oversight, almost always problems of mixed dancing. Meaning the women are dancing in front of men. Sometimes the dancing floor is literally open by design, with no mechitza whatsoever. Other times there is a nominal mechitza for dancing, but men are seated on both sides of the mechitza and inevitably there are still men in their assigned seats on the “women’s side” who don’t leave their seats, and yet the women dance in front of them.
