Question

What is a dollar dance?

Answer

This is a variation of an Eastern European tradition- a Babushka dance. From pennlive.con: This dance has several manifestations. But it’s rooted in what’s called the “apron dance” – an old custom in most of the Slavic countries, where a young woman who was considered eligible for marriage was given a “parte” to wear, usually made of ribbons, sequins, beads, or anything shiny, because (as the superstition goes), shiny things chase away the evil eye. The woman would wear the parte out in public. On the night before her wedding, her girlfriends would weave a crown of flowers for her to wear to the church. At the reception, the mother, godmother and grandmother would parade the bride around the room, then sit her on a chair placed in the center and replace her veil with a babushka. Everyone would then dance with the bride and give her money, and then the wedding-goers would form a circle around the bride. The groom, at the end, had to fight his way through the circle to “ransom” his bride. In later years this has given way to the tradition that people will pay a dollar for a shot and a chance to dance with the bride. This is how we will carry out this tradition at our wedding.
