Where the name comes from

Valentina is the feminine form of Valentine, from the Latin valens, meaning 'strong,' 'healthy' or 'vigorous.'

Why this moment matters

Standing on a parent's feet to dance is one of those small physical rituals that a child outgrows without ever quite realizing when the last time was.

The story behind this song

She dances balanced on top of her father's feet, spun slowly around the room to music only the two of them can hear.

A song to play on Father's Day

Papa is right there in this song, which makes it a warm Father's Day song to play for him, or to give a new dad on his first Father's Day.
