A sweet Valentine’s Day tradition took center stage at the town’s Senior Center in Aquebogue during the fifth annual father-daughter dance Saturday night.

The facility was transformed into a Valentine’s Day ballroom fit for any princess and featured red tablecloths, balloons and heart-shaped décor. There was also a craft table where the girls made Valentine gifts for their dads.

Fathers and daughters dressed to impress and bonded by having a portrait taken by a photographer and dined on pigs in blankets, cookies and chocolate donut holes with rainbow sprinkles.

The DJ played a mix of music, including Taylor Swift, and many of the 100 guests did the Electric Slide and Chicken Dance.
