Dad Sports Big Black Tutu in His Daughter’s Ballet Class

A Tennessee dad is in the spotlight this week after showing up to his 8-year-old daughter’s dance class in a tutu.

Thanh Tran showed up to "parents night" for his daughter, Adriana Cross, at her ballet school last Monday. His daughter told her father about the upcoming night for weeks, and if he was going to go, he had to go in a proper ballet attire.

A tutu, tights, and a leotard.

“It took a couple of weeks to convince him,” Adriana’s mom, Rebecca Tran, told Inside Edition. “She told him he didn’t have a choice.”

The fluffy black tutu was originally a part of his wife’s old Halloween costumes from a few years back that was found hidden away in the garage.

When parents night finally arrived, Thanh didn’t hesitate to accompany his daughter to the 1-hour ballet class -- in a tutu and leotard, like a true trooper. Guess he got away with ditching the tights!

“I thought it was hilarious — I was crying I was laughing so hard,” Rebecca Tran said. “He got a couple looks and people trying not to laugh.”

In the class, parents, who were mostly moms, took part in the usual ballet stretches and across-the-floor twirls and kicks. Tran did it all with a smile on his face.

“He’s just a really good dad,” Rebecca Tran said.
