Hi. Want to dance on this song "this dance" for my lovely daughter's wedding
We are dancing to “This Dance”! It’s a song all about the father daughter dance ❤
I am going to be dancing to 'This Dance' on Friday 23/6/23 with my daughter. I came here to this site to see if I was doing things rights and maybe pick up a few tips. I like the transitioning from Groom to F.O.B.😊 This Dance is so perfect for the moment. I cannot wait. 🤗
You'll be in My Heart
My daughter chose Paul Simon “Father-Daughter” which is meaningful for us. Your guidance here is wonderful and appreciated.
Great to hear that you were able to get some help and guidance. Love the selection of a song that's meaningful to the both of you. That's exactly what the dance should be, and the song should support that. Wishing a wonderful dance together. Reach out to us directly if you'd like further help! Info in the description of the video.
Transitioning by leading the bride and a handshake. I never thought of that! Thank you ❤️
You're welcome. It's all the little details that add up to build a wonderful experience for everyone. All the best and reach out to us if you need further help!
This video is super helpful! I was debating how long the dance should be. We're dancing to "I Hope You Dance". Super excited!
Glad you found it helpful! :) 4 minutes is definitely on the long side. If you're doing a Father Daughter and you're not learning many steps, keep it down to 2 min max. If you learn a few dance skills, then you could maybe go closer to 2.5/3.
Thank you for the video. My daughter and I will be dancing to Heartland: I loved her first.
John McDermott, Sweet daughter of mine. About fathers thoughts while dancing with daughter at wedding
Considering dancing to the song Butterfly Kisses.
Nice simple video. Planning to dance to “Here’s come the sun” with my daughter at her sweet 16.
This morning when I woke up my first thought was. 'I need to find a video that is more specific to a father/daughter dance lesson.' Magically, this video came up first. Such great advice both of you gave. My daughter and I have a similar taste in music, and we both like Fleetwood Mac, we both decided on Landslide.
Perfect! Glad that you found us and glad that you found a perfect song for you and your daughter! 😊
Im watching this tutorial for my quinceañera! We are dancing to es mi niña bonita by Vincente Fernández
Thanks for the tips.
"Cinderella" by Stephen Curtis Chapman is the song my daughter chose.
I loved her first by Heartland
Absolute classic. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful moment on the dance floor together.
this was really helpful! I'm planning my quinceñaro and I'm having a father-daughter dance with the song "Gracy Girl"
Thank y'all so much for this video! I'll be dancing with my daughter to Walk with You by Edwin McCain.
You two are the best ❤ Thank you so much

Great video. Dancing with my daughter to Forever Young by Rod Stewart. It's more upbeat and the lyrics are terrific.
Such a great suggestion! Thanks for sharing and have a great time together at the wedding!
Thanks for these vids. As the dad bride wants to dance to Butterfly Kisses.
Thank you for the video! I learned some helpful tips! My stepdad and I will be dancing to Edwin McCain - Walk With You
You're so welcome! Glad the tips are helpful, and thank you for sharing that song with us. Just a reminder that we do suggest to keep the song length shorter than the original 4:30 length. Let us know how it ends up!
Awesome, thank you.

Gonna be dancing to Light by Sleeping at Last
You’re Going to Miss This
Wow, what perfect lyrics! Thank you for sharing the song with us and our viewers. As a dad myself of two daughters...songs like these give me the feels!
Look Through My Eyes - Phil Colins (from Brother Bear)
I'll Keep it With Mine (Cover by Fairport Convention)
Luther Vandros- Dance with my Father
Oooh! A classic! Definitely a perfect Father Daughter song! Just keep in mind that 4 min is a bit long, so feel free to fade it out after 2-3 min, depending on what dance skills you have learned and have up your sleeve!
I’m going to be dancing with my dad to “sunshine on my shoulders “ by john Denver
Thank you for the tips,
Daddy Dance With Me
Awesome video. Awesome suggestion.
I don’t dance by lee brice is gonna be our dance but it will be part of a mini mix.
Im planning on Silly Love Songs by the Wings
Thank you both for these great introductory videos. A big help for this challenged Father- of-the-Bride!
We are planning to dance to Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight".
An honorable mention to Louis Armstrong's "It's A Wonderful World"
Hi Christopher, great to connect and glad to be of help. Dancing really can be a very easy and accessible skill once people take the right approach. Have an amazing time with your daughter, and love the node to the "classic" song selections!
Our song will be “God Bless the Boy” by Cody Johnson
My Stepdaughter I have raised since she was 3, My Boy(My Girl Version) by Elvie Shane
We have a norwegian song, called "Mine barns bein" (my childrens feet), a song about how his children ran to him as kids, but as they grew up, they dont anymore. Seeing their kids growing up, becoming adult.
Thanks for sending me to this video. Very helpful! As I commented on the other video, my daughter and I are dancing to Then They Do by Trace Adkins. It’s a song we’ve listened to dozens of times over the years. Is it ok for a grown man to cry on the dance floor? 😊
We've had dads shedding tears in dance lessons before the wedding! It's all part of the experience. Have a wonderful time, and enjoy all the emotions of the moment!!!
My wish
Wishes do come true!!! A few fundamental skills, understood fully and practiced naturally will help make it a reality for you. It all starts with taking that first step and having the courage to try something new. Reach out to us directly through our contacts in the description of our videos. We're here to make your wish a definite reality.
In 8 days, will be Little Wonders by Rob Thomas…. I’m in trouble 😢😂
Thanks you guys so much! I will dancing this simple dance in 2-1/2 weeks with my daughter. We will be dancing to Dance With My Daughter by Jason Blaine. Now for the big question.... How do I get through it without shedding a tear? LOL. You instructional video was a big help, especially the part about guiding her to wherever she needs to go next.
Hi Glenn, great to connect in the comments. This is a question we have absolutely no answer to!!! We find ourselves tearing up just listening to these songs and having the thought of our daughters dancing at their weddings. Our advice? Let the water works flow!!! Enjoy the moment and don't hold back. Love is love.
@@fixithamilton6086 Like we always say, be present and enjoy the experience and all the emotions that come with it. The more true you are in the moment the better for you, your daughter and all your guests. We'd love to hear how it all goes for you! Reach out directly if you fell you need more specific help. Our info is in the description of the video.
My daughter is getting married in a couple weeks. I decided on Cody Johnson’s God Bless The Boy
Our daughter wants to dance half of her chosen song with her dad and the second half with me, her mom. What would be a smooth and graceful way for us to do that transition?
We'll be dancing to Father and Daughter by Paul Simon, and although it specifically mentions the word father, the lyrics express sentiments that apply equally to both of us, her mother and her father.
Your videos has been extremely helpful for learning simple moves as well as learning about communication/connection between dance partners. Thank you!
Glad that our videos have been helpful for you! For a smooth and graceful transition, you could either go and tap her dad on the shoulder and ask to cut in, or you could have her dad end the dance with a hug and kiss and walk her over to you. If you don't feel comfortable tapping him on the shoulder to cut in all by yourself, you could have an escort take you to the floor and do it with you (if you think you might be too nervous or bawling too much 😭). Hope that helps!
Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman
Great song! We always recommend to keep it short if you are not taking any dance lessons. Keeping it down to 2 min would be ideal unless you learn some twirls and other moves.
Do you have mother groom video? We r doing My Wish. I like ur videos best!
Unfortunately, we don't have a mother/groom video, but we're gonna have to make one! Glad you like our videos! 😊🙏
Any recommendations songs or dances for a quinceanera?
Thanks for the question. We're not so familiar with quinceaneras, but how about these to start your search: "Lean On Me" - Bill Withers, "Count on Me" - Bruno Mars, "Forever Young" - Rod Stewart, "Isn't She Lovely" - Stevie Wonder. Let us know what you end up using!
I'm so scared and you helped me understand exactly what to do. Wedding is Sept. 2.
@@jcdanceco The wedding was awesome and I felt so much better about dancing with my daughter. She and I practiced along with your videos and we looked like we knew what we were doing. Thank you so very much!
@@davenelson4334 Success!!! So happy for you and your daughter. Keep those dance skills in your back pocket for whenever a great song comes up. Life is better with dancing!!! Thank you for sharing with us. 😁
Stevie Wonder You Are the Sunshine of My Life: Is the rhythm a little too tricky/upbeat? I don't want a slow song, but this one might be too difficult (both father(me) and daughter are nervous beginners).
You are the Sunshine of My Life is actually perfect! It's a great tempo for a nice and casual side step home base. 😊 With our Everyday Dance Style, you can dance to pretty much any tempo with ease. Keep it simple and it'll be great! 👍
Thanks i’m a daughter not really sure about dancing with my step dad but i am
very nervous. But what should i say ?
Honesty is the best policy. Let your step dad know how you feel, and what you're concerned about. If it's on a personal level, then have that difficult conversation and see what the best solution is for you.
If your nerves are purely based on dancing technical concerns then find trusted professionals to help you and your step dad dance together confidently. Although there are many father-daughter dances on UA-cam that are super crazy, please understand that this is not the norm, nor should it be expected of you. Having a natural, and confident dance is definitely possible with the right strategy and lessons.
When all goes right, you'll actually be looking forward to dancing at your wedding! Feel free to reach out to us directly if you'd like direct help from us.
I've chosen a non-standard song to dance with my dad at my wedding in 3 weeks and we're both a little worried about pulling it off. The sheet music says it's a 4/4 beat and neither one of us are "dancers". The song is called "Not All Heroes Wear Capes" (acoustic version) by Owl City. Please help! Is this even a danceable song?
Hi Rebecca, great to connect. We feel your anxiety about the dance and the song, and please understand this is a very normal feeling for non-dancers at such an important day of their lives.
The song selection is awesome. Live the sentiment and lyrics. Yes, the song is 4/4. Instead of trying to formalize the musicality, follow our instruction of "Boom-Chic". It's how we get total beginners to dance to basically any song out there. Use the slapping of the strings as the "chic" as a clear cue to listen for.
Here's a link to a video where we go over some basic musical concepts for beginner dancers like you and your dad: ua-cam.com/video/4WfjDERgCi4/v-deo.html
If you want to get more personalized help, (including seeing us dance to your song on time), reach out to us directly. All our info is in the description of the video. Don't be shy. We help couples have a miraculous turn around in timeframes that are much shorter than yours (like a few days before the wedding!!!).
What song are you dancing to for your Father-Daughter dance?
Do you have any dance song suggestions for groom /mother dance?
Take good care of my baby - bobby vee …. But the probleme is my dad cant dance ….
Oh, such a great song! Thank you for sharing the gem with us. Get your dad to watch some of our videos and then reach out to us. We've helped tonnes of dads and daughters have fun on the dance floor together.
What about a mother-daughter dance? I am giving my daughter away! No father involved .
The bond and love between a parent and a daughter is wonderful and unique, regardless of gender. Please use our tips for Father-Daughter dances and directly apply them to Mother-Daughter dances. You and your daughter just need to decide who will dance in the lead role and who will dance in the follow roll during the dance. If you'd like more direct help, please feel free to connect directly to us. Info in the description of any of our vids. Enjoy the moment and make it special for the both of you.
Wasted to much time talking🤔
