The First Annual National Father Daughter Dance

NEW YORK - May 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Calling all fathers and daughters. It’s time to check your calendars and buy tickets now for the 1st Annual National Father Daughter Dance on Saturday, June 15th (times vary based on location). Held on Father’s Day weekend, this elegant event presents an opportunity for a father or father figure and his daughter(s) to get dressed up, dance, have dinner, talk, laugh, be entertained and share a memorable evening together with other fathers and their daughters. Pre-registration is required for this event and walk-ins will not be accepted.

The National Father Daughter Dance truly captures the essence of the important role fathers play in the healthy development of their daughters.  Every little girl needs her mom, but the comfort, security and love of a dad is important as well in teaching her how to nurture and build relationships with men.  “As the primary male role model, fathers influence their daughters in profound ways—from how they see themselves, to what they come to expect from men, and the world at large,” states Derek Phillips, Founder & Executive Director of Real Dads® Network. “In short, a daughter’s self-concept as a female, and woman, is largely shaped by the relationship she has with her father”, according to Philip Jackson, Executive Director of the Black Star.
