Parent-child wedding dances in Montreal: start here
Same feeling, different plan. Pick your dance and go straight to its full guide.
Quick answer
Where do we start? With the dance you are actually planning. Father-daughter and mother-son dances share a feeling but not a plan, so each has its own guide with songs, steps and how to rehearse.
Pick your dance
Father-daughter dance. The classic: how lessons run, what the day looks like, how to prepare. Go to the father-daughter guide
Mother-son dance. Song ideas and simple choreography for the dance that gets the room reaching for tissues. Go to the mother-son guide
What every parent-child dance has in common
- Short beats long. Around two minutes is plenty. We will trim the song with you.
- Simple beats clever. A sway, a box step and one turn look natural. Over-rehearsed looks stiff.
- Shoes matter. Wear the pair you will wear on the day, broken in.
- Emotion is normal. Plan for it. Keep a tissue in your pocket.
Putting it with the rest of the wedding
Parent-child dances sit beside your first dance, so plan them together. The wedding dance lessons page covers the couple's dance, and how many lessons to book covers timing. For younger dancers, our kids group classes are the place to start.
