Father–daughter dance

Father–daughter dances are very common at quinceañeras and debutante balls.

A common trend in 2018 at wedding receptions is to only have a formal first dance for the wedding couple and party songs, forgoing the father–daughter dance.

In the mid to late 20th century, popular father–daughter songs included "Daddy's Little Girl" by Al Martino and The Mills Brothers, "My Girl" by The Temptations, "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder and "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon.

In the 2010s, popular father–daughter songs include "I Loved Her First" by Heartland, "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw and "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle.
