Oedipus' Other Ball

Do the purity dance:

Across the country, growing numbers of conservative Christian evangelicals are staging ... gala affairs. They are called purity balls, and they celebrate the father-daughter bond...

The fathers slip "purity rings" on the fingers of their misty-eyed daughters, the elegantly attired couples drift across the floor for a "first dance," this one-on-one time with Dad is referred to as a "date," and wedding cake is served for dessert. For post-dinner entertainment, a corps of adolescent ballerinas clad in white tulle performs a "ceremonial dance" to the song Always Be Your Baby.

Nothing weird going on there. Perfectly normal and psychologically healthy -- if your family tree looks like a telephone pole.
