Dancing is a universal form of self-expression that many of us use to mark significant life events and convey our emotions.

In fact, many of us start dancing as soon as we can walk. It’s a simple and enjoyable way to connect with ourselves and others.

Among the most endearing and poignant dances is the father-daughter dance.

These cherished traditions have been performed at weddings and other special occasions for many years.

At such events, fathers and their children share precious and meaningful moments together.

Jessica Hanley had a clear vision for the dance she wanted to share with her father.

In the Jewish faith, a girl’s bat mitzvah, or 13th birthday, marks her official transition into adulthood.

Jessica wanted a special moment with her father, Mike Hanley, even though her friends and family were present.
