Dance of father and daughter at the wedding: features of tradition and choice of music
Wedding is an important event in the lives of newlyweds and their parents. This is a kind of milestone in the beginning of an independent, adult life. Newlyweds, flying out of the parent's nest, will twist their own. For moms and dads, a wedding celebration is a great joy, because their children grew up, met and fell in love, like they themselves once.
Moms do not hide their feelings, crying from happiness, and dads try to be respectable and calm. However, in the dance of the father and daughter, all their mutual love and tenderness spills out.
It has long been believed that the dance of a daughter and father symbolizes the girl's complete farewell to her family, the transition to her husband's family.
Nowadays, of course, this is no longer the case, but a beautiful tradition is maintained. Therefore, in the program of almost every wedding banquet, a separate point is the bride’s dance with her father.
How to prepare an impressive dance?
In order for the dance of father and daughter to become one of the most memorable moments of the celebration, it must be prepared in advance - choose a style, musical composition, rehearse the movements. The choice of the dance genre largely depends not only on the musical taste of the girl’s family, but also on physical abilities, because often the parents of the newlyweds are already old people. Therefore, what does not present difficulties for young people can be an impossible task for them.
Of course, the most popular type of dance for a daughter and father is slow, but lately it has become more and more fashionable to stage a fun, incendiary dance for a medley of modern songs. The movements can be selected very simple, and a cheerful melody will carry away invited guests to the dance floor.Of course, you need to practice in advance so that the performance at the wedding celebration is perfect.
It is possible to mix styles when the dance begins as slow (for example, a white dance), and then the music changes to energetic. With good preparation, you can get a very beautiful number.
If you do not want platitudes, you can come up with something more original and fun. For example, you can create a comic performance for songs from cartoons. It will turn out a funny show that all guests will appreciate. A variant of some folk dance is also possible. Most parents do not navigate in modern directions, but they remember very well how they danced in their youth.
The most touching will be the performance of a song written by hand - a gift to my father. If you are afraid that the voice from the excitement will let you down, record the song in advance, and at the celebration just dance with dad under it. Believe me, your father will be moved to tears. A reverse option is also a good option - a song composition - a surprise from a father for a daughter. The main thing is to pre-arrange with the host to include it in the celebration script.
Slow dance to the gentle melody is the easiest option, because there are no difficult dance steps in it. Even the most unprepared people can sway rhythmically to music. However, you should not think that it is trite and ugly. In fact, such a moment will be very sweet and touching, especially if you choose the right composition. If you agree to something more complicated, you can choose a classic waltz. This is a graceful and magnificent dance that will emphasize the importance of this moment in your life.
How to choose a musical composition?
If you have decided on the style of performance, you need to choose the appropriate music. If your choice fell on an incendiary potpourri, search the Internet for songs suitable for dance movements that you decide to perform. Here the choice is unlimited.
For a classic waltz, the following may suit:
- "Father's Daughter" performed by Alsou;
- "White Veil" Soso Pavliashvili;
- Wonderful Tonight Eric Clapton;
- "Wedding Waltz" by Timur Temirov or another composition to your taste.
To perform a regular slow dance, you can choose:
- "Father is with you" by Leonid Agutin;
- "When we were young" Adele;
- “Dance of father and daughter” by Maxim Lidov or any other suitable melody.
Rehearsal Tips
Rehearsals are best done in advance, and not on the eve of the wedding. Believe me, during this period of time there will not be enough for anything, too many unresolved trifles will arise at the most inopportune moment. Therefore, rehearse the dance several times in wedding dresses and shoes, test the banquet floor - check if it will slide, creak, etc.
Consult with photo and video operators who will shoot the celebration, regarding the angle for beautiful photos and touching videos.
When is the best time to dance?
Choosing a moment for the dance at the celebration is also a serious matter, because if alcohol is present at the wedding (and this happens in 95% of cases), the drunkenness of guests can ruin a touching moment. But at the very beginning of the banquet, you should not dance it. It’s better to announce it around the second half of the wedding, so to speak, “for dessert”. Consult with the manager (host), he must have extensive experience in conducting such events, so he will definitely recommend the best option.
Summing up, one thing can be said - focus on your desires and opportunities, because this is your holiday. And the dance, as one of the most important moments of the celebration, may be what you want.
