> and in particular to participate in a father-daughter dance.

part of being a parent is puttying your kid first. if you don't like to dance but your daughter really wants/needs this as part of the ritual, then you put on your big boy pants and do it. if your daughter really is okay with it fine, but you're an asshat for not. you may not like ballet, but you show up to the recitals. you might not like sportsball, but you show up to the events. you might cringe at the beginner band's abilities on stage, but you show up. it's not for you. it's for the kid.

princess comes first.
