Is it a Requirement to Dance with Parents at the Wedding Reception?

From June Hoffman and Erik Michaels of Megasound

A “Parents Dance” is one of the traditional dances that many couples include in their wedding. A daughter dancing with her father at weddings dates back some time. In some areas, this is a symbol of a father turning the protection of his daughter over to her groom. In many circles, the dance is a reflection of the relationship and an expression of love between the bride and her father.



On the flip side of the father-bride dance, a groom may ask his mother to dance. Again, this dance is a reflection of the bond and love a mother has for her son.

Fewer songs are written for the groom to dance with his mother than the number of songs available for a bride to dance with her father. We’ve found that there are quite a few songs that are appropriate for either dance. Click here to check out our post featuring a wide variety of song suggestions for parents' dances!
