A "money dance" in Filipino tradition, also known as the prosperity dance, or sabitan ng pera in Tagalog, it serves to usher in financial abundance in a couple’s marriage. For wedding guests, it’s a fun moment full of candid merriment and well-wishing. Guests will line up to dance with the bride and groom while pinning money onto their clothing, symbolizing a blessing and contribution to their future financial stability; typically, male guests pin money on the bride, and female guests pin money on the groom.

In terms of actual choreography, it’s quite straightforward when done traditionally: guests line up in two queues, with everyone holding a pin or large paperclip and waiting their turn to dance with the bride or groom.

We hope you will line up and dance with us!
