2nd Annual Daddy Daughter Dance
Friday, February 10, 2012

Join us for the 2nd annual Daddy-Daughter Dance as Springfield Ballet partners with Operation Us to bring you a fairytale evening for little girls and their favorite dates (their dads!).  A professional ballroom dancer and his partner will give basic instruction as well as some demonstrations (think Dancing with the Stars!). Dads and daughters will have plenty of time to "free-style," meet other couples and spend quality time together taking photos, playing games, and trying their luck at winning some "daddy-daughter date night" packages.  Light sweets and treats will be provided. Attire is "your Sunday best." Tickets are $20 per couple, plus $5 for each additional child. To make your reservation, call 862-1343.
