Okay, wait, before we get into this – DON’T freak out over “choreography”. It just means you know where you’re going on the dance floor – so you won’t be totally unprepared! It’s nothing to be scared about. In fact, NOT preparing is way scarier.

We all know the father/daughter dance is one of the most emotional and heartwarming moments of any wedding reception. It’s a chance to not only honor the bride and FOB’s relationship, but also create a core memory! But it doesn’t always have to be sappy and sweet. SO many of our happy clients have decided to do fun mash-up dances, OR even surprise their wedding guests with a full-on dance party!
While the simple slow dance is one thing, here’s why you should absolutely take dance lessons to choreograph your Father/Daughter dance:
1. Make the Dancing part EASY
Weddings can be chaotic, with emotions running high and the pressure to stick to a timeline. Taking dance lessons to prepare for your father/daughter dance removes the guesswork (and inevitable awkward pauses).
Instead, you’ll feel totally confident - knowing exactly how to move together! A choreographed dance helps the moment flow smoothly, allowing you both to stay present and focus on THE MOMENT.
2. Showcase Your Personalities
Your father/daughter dance is a unique opportunity to showcase and honor your relationship with your dad! So what’s your brand? Are you two the life of the party, always laughing and sharing jokes? Or are you more traditional, preferring a slow and classic dance?
Choreography lets you incorporate personal elements like favorite dance moves, your 3-4 favorite songs (hello mash-up!), and more! The BEST way to nail your Father/Daughter dance is to work with wedding pros and put an EPIC dance together!
And let’s face it—wedding guests have probably seen a lot of traditional father/daughter dances. By adding fun choreography or doing a fun song mash-up, you can surprise and delight your guests with something unexpected! Guests will talk about how sweet, fun, or unique your dance was for years to come.
3. Be in the MOMENT
Many people fear dancing in front of an audience, but wedding dance lessons – and the custom choreography you get when you take them! - can knock those nerves out!
Have a plan in place, so you feel confident and EXCITED – instead of shaky and lowkey terrified.
We want you to be totally in the moment, so you remember your Father/Daughter dance as THE highlight of your ceremony. Dance lessons, practice (practice, practice!), and working together in a fun environment prior to the Big Day are THE ways to make that happen.
No matter which song(s) or dance style you have in mind, your father/daughter dance is a chance to create an unforgettable experience! When you take wedding dance lessons and choreograph your dance, you’ll not only have a blast performing together, but also create lasting memories together – AND for your wedding guests!
So, grab your dad and start planning a dance that reflects your relationship—it’s a memory you’ll cherish forever.
