What is the money dance?
Answer
The money dance, also known as ‘sabitan ng pera’ in Tagalog and 'El Baile del Mandilon' in Spanish, serves to usher in financial abundance in a couple’s marriage. It is a fun moment where wedding guests can be candid and share their well-wishes to the couple. Guests line up in two queues, with everyone holding a pin and waiting their turn to dance with the bride or groom. Guests are encouraged to approach the bride or groom and pin their dollar bills on the bride or groom’s clothing. We encourage you to bring dollar bills and get creative with pinning!
