Dollar Dance

A popular tradition at wedding receptions is the dollar dance, also called the money dance or apron dance, this dance gives guests the opportunity to pay for a dance with the bride or groom. The DJ plays a series of shortened songs and guest line up with money. Typically, $1's and $5's are given, sometimes checks, sometimes big bills from important family members. They individually dance with the bride or the groom for a minute and pin the bill on their dress/suit somewhere and they can pass on a little nugget of their wisdom. The concept is that they are paying for the dance and the money is a contribution to their new life together as a married couple.
