Valentine’s day is a great opportunity for couples all around the world to show their commitment to one another. The day usually consists of a gourmet restaurant meal, or a romantic walk in the park, but for towns all across the US, there are also Valentine’s Day daddy-daughter dances on offer. This dance is an American pastime to allow fathers to spend a special evening with their daughters, usually taking place in schools or at the local town hall.
The event has stuck around for decades, and is a sentimental opportunity for a father to spend some quality time with his daughter. However, recently, this type of event has hit the headlines, with people questioning its place within today’s society and whether it is morally and socially correct nowadays.
One particular Reddit user is the person who started this whole debate. He took to the opinion site after getting into a huge argument with his wife by refusing to take his daughter to the local dance. In his words, he thought it was ‘creepy’. So is the father-daughter dance an out-of-date event? Or is it still a delightful tradition which is only being criticized because of the excessive political correctness of modern times?

The bond between a father and daughter has always been special, and there is no better moment for a father and daughter than the first dance at a wedding.
It’s a wonderfully loving moment between parent and child, and a milestone in any woman’s life. So if this dance is so deeply cherished in tradition still, then why is the tradition of a daddy-daughter dance event slowly coming under fire?
