Whether they were rocking it out, slow dancing, or shuffling to “The Cupid Shuffle,” the daughters and dads at “An Evening in Paris” Father/Daughter Dance were sharing some special moments.

Six-year-old Daniella Rodrigues, of Land O’ Lakes, received her first corsage.

Scott Hancock and his 4-year-old daughter, Amelie, shared a slow dance.

Zoli Summerville and her dad, Cory, of Wesley Chapel, played a game of bat the balloon.

Brooke-Lyn Warren, age 8, of Lutz, gazes up and smiles at her father, Benjamin Warren, as they partake in their first dance of the night.

Whatever they were up to, these girls and their fathers appeared to be enjoying each other, and having a good time.

More than 500 attended the event, on Feb. 16, at the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex, off Collier Parkway. It was the largest attendance since the tradition began nine years ago.

Besides dancing, the event included movies, formal father-daughter portraits, gift raffles, food and drink.

Numerous local sponsors were instrumental in helping to create the special night for daughters and their dads.
