The Return Of The Daddy/Daughter Sweetheart Dance he Daddy/Daughter Sweetheart Dance, long a tradition in Manheim Township, was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Now, the dance will return to give girls in grades one through eight an opportunity to dance with their fathers or other special adult male in their life. “We have had grandfathers fill in for fathers, and if a father has two daughters, he can bring both,” said Michael Kurland, youth sports and activities manager with Manheim Township Recreation and Park Planning Department. As in the past, the dance will be held at The Barn at Stoner Commons, 605 Granite Run Drive, Lancaster. It will take place on Friday, April 1, from 7 to 9 p.m., and there is a per-couple cost to attend. To make the evening special, Mixed Impressions DJs will spin a variety of tunes to appeal to both daughters and dads. “There will be lots of dancing,” said Kurland, “The DJ will play ‘Cha-Cha Slide,’ ‘Macarena,’ and (music to dance the) ‘Electric Slide’ to get the kids really involved and hyped to dance with the dads.”
