This weekend was the Daddy-Daughter Dance for the homeschoolers! We were at 2|42 Community Center, and I set up on the stage to make as much room for dancing between the tables. The theme was Masquerade, and guests were handed masks, raffle tickets and scavenger hunt cards that focused on other guests. In addition to the dancing, professional photos, fun snack bar and craft area, I hosted 3 group games throughout the evening with the raffles.

One game was an alteration of my 'Go Skate' game from the Winter dance -- 'Go Play Outside' for Spring. Dads would send their daughters to go frolick until called home to warm up (hands to hands! Head to head! Ear to ear! Go play outside!) My favorite was at the end when daughters sent their dads out and they were committedly frolicking.

My background in education has been very conducive to working with all ages, especially events with children. The families did an amazing job setting up for this Snow Glow Daddy Daughter Dance, allowing me to light the gym and fill it with dancing. Two games that went over well were the freeze version of 'Have you ever?' - after everyone is frozen, you jump up and dance if you meet the qualification; and Go Skating - daughters 'skate' dance away from dads until I call everyone home, where they warm themselves by touching the named body parts together, like hands! hips! eyelashes! Yes, I make up these games, mostly based on other games but altered for the audience and theme. All this and the mirror ball looked great during our 3 slow dances.

The Grand Ledge Opera House is a change from setting up my table and speakers on the dance floor, but I put the speakers where the people were, and moved some tables to make room so the lighting could shine from overhead. The crowd was very fun, and from the start we had a great group dancing.

Country Club of Lansing – January 13, 2024
The age of the building really adds to the charm. It was a cold day, but we got the party warmed up. Afterwards, the manager came out in an unusually kind gesture to let me know how well he thought I took care of the event, and how pleased he was working with me.
