The Bridal Money Dance
(The Dollar Dance) Let's face it, the "Money Dance" is alive and well,
and it's a very popular custom at most wedding receptions in Florida .
We are not trying to influence your decision on
whether or not to have a Dollar Dance at your wedding reception.
We'll just give you some background information on this
subject to help you make your decision. Some couples hesitate to have a Dollar Dance because
they feel like it isn't done very often. We estimate that the
Dollar Dance is done in one form or the other at well over half of all the
wedding receptions I perform at, running the gamut from the ones held in
the most modest halls, through the large reception halls, and all the way
to those in hotel and country-club ballrooms. Another reason it might not be performed is the fact
that brides and grooms feel that their guests might be offended.
Probably not, all of your guests have seen the Dollar Dance at
so many wedding receptions that now it's just part of the landscape.
Many of your guests are actually accustomed to the dance, and enjoy
it very much. You will find that if you eliminate this traditional,
it might be the most requested dance of the evening. The custom was originated in America earlier this
century by the European immigrants, who wanted to assure that the young
couple had a few extra dollars to face the future with. It
works well, in fact, most couples will earn over $200.00 while having an
enjoyable dance with their guests.
