MILWAUKEE — Twenty years ago, the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative in cooperation with Milwaukee Recreation gave its first Daddy Daughter Dance.
Since then, the event has grown to be a highly anticipated evening of daughters dressing up and showing off their best dance moves with their fathers/father figures.
Due to Covid, the event did not take place for two years, but on Saturday, daddies and daughters will once again grace the dance floor.
I met with Darryl Davidson, Director of the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative, to learn more about it.
"It’s a very special evening because it focuses on daughters, and it’s extremely important because we know that it builds self-esteem and confidence. We expect great outcomes from daughters who have good relationships with their fathers," said Darryl.
The evening starts with dinner and then the dance begins. There is a dance-off between the daddies and daughters, prizes, photo opportunities, and lots of fun.
Studies show that strong father and daughter relationships equal healthier, happier women.
