The number of dances you do at a wedding will depend on the type of ceremony and your preference. Traditional weddings may have just one dance – the father-daughter dance and/or the mother-son dance. For more modern weddings, couples may choose to do several dances including a first wedding dance, a father-daughter dance, mother-son dance, and even a family dance. It is ultimately up to the couple to decide how many dances they would like to do.
