  Maybe you could just set aside some time where you two could "disappear" and have some father-daughter time. Maybe write him a letter telling him what he means to you, and find a private place to give it to or read it to him. I'm not a big fan of those dances myself, as I get very emotional when I think about how amazing my mother and my dad have been to me. For my wedding, there will not be a father daughter dance, but I am making my dad (cheesy, I know) a CD of songs that express how I feel about him and the kind of dad he has been throughout my life (as I said, I get very emotional about this, and saying the things I feel would lead to me being a crying mess), and writing him a letter thanking him for being the kind of man I can always look up to.
  If that isn't something that you think is "your style" or would be something not fitting for you and your father, maybe you could give a short "thank you" speech where you mention how much he means to you, etc.
  I know both of these are very non-traditional, but I know how important it is to have that special moment with your dad, and have it be comfortable for you both.

  Praying for a miracle!

  I'm having a father-daughter dance but I really don't want to be in front of everyone for a long time just the two of us.  Our DJ is going to ask other father-daughter "couples" to joiin us after the first verse.  Then we can have our dance without being the center of attention for a long period of time.  Would something like that work?  Maybe if you had other people up there from the beginning?

  We didn't have any parent dances at all, but we were going to have a combined father-daughter & mother-son dance. That way neither of us had to be in the spotlight alone.
