Dancing marks the rites of passage in a daughter's life and that of the father who loves her. From her first carefree twirling in the flower-dotted yard, to her first solo performance in
The Nutcracker, to the waltz of her wedding night, her father is there watching, silent and unobserved. And he smiles.
