The Father & Daughter Dance is returning on Feb. 8!

A part of Prince William County’s Fatherhood Initiative, the free Father & Daughter Dance is a signature event of the initiative. It’s hosted by the Department of Social Services.

“The Fatherhood Initiative is dedicated to equipping fathers with the resources and support they need to nurture healthy relationships with their children. Through workshops, forums, and community events, we aim to help fathers strengthen family bonds and leave a positive, lasting impact on their children’s lives,” Fatherhood Engagement Coordinator Jeffery Faulkerson said.

The Fatherhood Initiative was put on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic, but has been relaunched to focus on building healthier home environments, a county press release stated.

The dance is free and open to the public on Feb. 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. at 15941 Donald Curtis Drive in Woodbridge. Those interested in attending can reserve a spot on the dance’s Eventbrite page.

As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
