My dad came to my last one. I have to admit, it was a weird thought at first, but he has always been really supportive of me, and understood that this was no different than my old ballet recitals. And to make it even better, he invited my almost 90 year old grandmother who enjoyed the competition just as much as he did. I think it's important to let your family see what you do, and allow them the opportunity to be proud of you. Your dad obviously loves you, and wants to be involved in your activities, and I think you would be doing a disservice to him by not letting him.
