I think it’s beautiful when the kallah dances with her brothers and father. I’ve seen it many times and I love it! on that note, since I do not have a father and I am very close with my uncles at my wedding they came and we danced together. I am not MO at all as I am Yeshivish/Chassidish. Yes, they are conservative but they went to yeshiva all their lives and they chose a different path. Number one I would never put them down for it. In fact I had one uncle say a bracha under the chuppah and the other walk my husband down. For me NOT to dance with them would have been a disgrace. Since they are my mother’s brothers my mother joined too as did her 3 sisters. Why is a mitzvah tantz ok? because they are dancing with a gartel? Tell you the truth I think it’s more inappropriate to watch a mitzvah tantz where every single person, man and woman, are watching the kallah dance. if you have a problem with a father and brothers dancing with a kallah then you must have a problem with a mitzvah tantz? why is ok for a kallah to dance with a rebbe and not her father or brother? this is completely ridiculous to even put anyone down bec they dance with their father and brothers! Kol Hakavod to the kallahs that do!
