Daddy/Daughter Wedding Dances are Back!
April, May and June are probably the peak months of wedding season and wedding couples everywhere who are beginning to scrambling as their big day draws near. We are feeling the crunch here too at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona. We have lots of twitterpated couples practicing their one-of-a-kind choreographed dance routines to special love songs in preparation for their first dance as man and wife. Helping our wedding couples “Rock their Reception” is one of our most rewarding jobs, however there are a few more wedding dances that take special precedence too.
Another very special type of wedding couple, the sweetest dancers anyone could view… a Father and his daughter and a Mother and her son. Let’s not forget about Mom and Dad. 🙂 Sure, the bride and groom should wow their guests with a knock-out first dance together, but a dance between a dad and his daughter or a mother and her son is sure to capture the hearts of every guest. This is the last chance for a Mom or Dad to take the opportunity to share a special moment with their child. It is also a time that every viewer will relate to, and is likely to bring tears to the eyes of all watching.
As I write this blog, one of our father-daughter couples are practicing their choreographed dance here in the dance studio. John, one of our Wedding Dance Consultants is instructing their routine. As they nail the first go round of Country style dancing to the song, Walk With You by Edwin McCain, I see the hairs stand up on John’s arms. I wonder if his eyes are beginning to tear up too. I know he is proud of his students, as well as thinking of a future wedding where he will be dancing with his own daughter.
Another touching moment was watching a Mother-Son recently dancing to Don’t Blink by Kenny Chesney. There was a point where the woman’s son gave her a kiss on the check after bringing his Mother back from a dip. Naomi, the dance instructor, and I gave each other knowing looks while we held back our tears. It is easy to imagine the affects their special dance will have on family and friends gathered around them on the dance floor. So touching and so beautiful!
Why not make your wedding day unforgettable in a variety of ways! Express your love for each other, or for that special family member, by learning a dance routine which uses a variety of styles including: County dancing, Latin, Ballroom, personalized slap stick or Tango. No one wants to watch people sway back and forth like teenagers do in High School. Imagine performing a customized dance that lives up to that special song that means everything to you two.
