Whether it was a country two step, a slow dance, or merely be-bopping around the dance floor, girls learned some smooth dance moves from their proud papas Saturday night at the Daddy Daughter Dance.
The event in the Dale Robertson Center, 1200 Lakeshore Drive, was hosted by the Yukon Parks and Recreation Department. Fathers and father figures brought their girls aged 4-12 years old to one of the dances based on their age for three and a half hours.
Both the dads and their daughters dressed-up in their fanciest clothes and danced the night away. Tim Reason, owner of TSS Photography of Central Oklahoma, was set-up to take capture the moment by taking professional portraits of the daddies and daughters.
