What: Daddies and Daughters, we are having a special event for you!  Get your special girl (or girls) a corsage and bring her to the Father-Daughter Dance.   There will be a mini-lesson so you will know enough steps to take your girl on the dance floor.  We’ll also do a line dance or two.  We will have light refreshments, punch, and water.  I need a minimum of 15 father-daughter pairs to sign up by May 10th in order to hold this dance.

Sign Up for the Dance Here

Who: All ACHEV Dads and their daughters age 5+, including graduates.  We also encourage Grandfathers, Stepfathers, Uncles and other adult male role models to accompany a young lady.  What if you have more than one daughter?!    You can have another adult male accompany one of your daughters, or if you are accompanying more than one young lady, we will rotate partners so that all your girls will get some dance time.

Cost: $25 per pair, and $5 for a single daughter.  For example; If Dad comes and bring two daughters, it would be $25+$5=$30 total.  If Dad comes with three daughters, it would be $35.  If Dad comes with two daughters and Grandpa, it is $25 per pair/couple so it would be $50.  Pay with cash or check made out to ACHEV when you arrive, or pay with Zelle to achevmail@gmail.com

Time: Event will begin at 3:00, please arrive at 2:45 to check in at the ticket table, take photos, and be ready to begin on time.

Dress Code: Dads, please honor this special time with your daughters by dressing nice and following the dress code.  Daughters must also follow the dress code, the dress code applies to all ages.  We encourage you to wear semi-formal attire, but the minimum dress code is below. This is our standard dress code for ACHEV dances.

Fathers:

• Collared shirts (button-up or polo), long sleeve or short sleeved.
• Slacks, NO jeans. Do not wear pants that look like jeans.  
• Closed toe shoes.

Daughters:

•  Skirts or dresses knee length or longer. (This means touching the top of the kneecap, regardless of leggings.) If there is a lace overlay, the skirt underneath (solid fabric) needs to touch the kneecap.
• Slits in skirts cannot rise above the top of the kneecap regardless of leggings underneath.  If your skirt/dress just touches the top of the knee and it has a slit in it, it is too short.  You can stitch up a slit or use safety pins to close it up.
• Leggings or shorts are required if the skirt rises past the knees while twirling.  It’s a good idea to wear shorts or leggings under your skirts regardless of length.
• No low-cut, strapless, backless, or halter tops. No peekaboo cutouts.  Solid Straps need to be at least one inch wide.  No exposed cleavage, midriffs or bra straps.  If you aren’t sure, wear a cardigan over your dress.
• If your top is sheer or see through, you need to wear underneath solid straps that are at least one inch wide.
• Girls can wear a t-shirt under their dress or along with a skirt.
• No pants (other than leggings under your skirt or dress).
• Closed toe shoes are recommended.  No flip flops, socks, or bare feet.  If the girls want to wear heels, please bring a second pair of shoes that will be more comfortable in case they need/want to remove their heels.

Helpers: I would like a few people to bring a plate of cookies or cupcakes to share.  I would also love to have a photographer for this special event.  Do you have a relative or friend that would like to donate their time to do this for us?  Or perhaps a mom can come take photos while the dads and girls dance?  For decorations, we don’t need much and I will just have some basic things set up, but if there is a mom with a knack for decor and just loves doing that sort of thing, we’d love to have your help with decorating before the event.  You can sign up to help with photography, decor, or bringing a treat on the same sign up sheet here.
