5th Annual Father/Daughter Dance

Vashon Allied Arts is sponsoring its fifth annual Father/Daughter Dance, to be held at the Vashon Island Golf and Country Club on Saturday, May 19th. Last year’s event was a huge success, and most of the dad’s were left breathless by the end of the evening. Smiles and fun are guaranteed. Uncles, Grandfathers, and other stand-ins are also welcome. Proceeds from the event will benefit VAA’s Blue Heron Dance program.

The theme for this year is Midnight in Paris, complete with the Eiffel Tower, albeit a bit smaller in scale. The dance will be semi-formal, with coats and ties for dads and dresses for the ladies. Desserts and drinks will be provided, along with a complementary photograph, a small gift for each daughter, and memories to last a lifetime. The dance will take place from 7 - 9:30 p.m., at VIGCC, and Vashon’s own Dan Brown will D.J. the event. The evening will kick off with some helpful group instruction provided by March Twisdale. John Sage graciously returns for his fifth year to provide the photography (check out finchhaven.com to view prior events). This year, we are again offering a dinner option before the dance, starting at 5:30 p.m. Three choices of entree will be available to select from. Girls – grab 3 or 4 of your best friends and their dads, and make an evening of it.

Tickets - are $20 per person for the dance and $15 per person for the optional dinner; can be purchased in advance at VAA and the Vashon Bookshop; are limited to 110 participants, and we expect to sell out fast. Tickets for the dinner need to be purchased at least 7 days in advance. Dads and daughters alike will always remember this special evening. Daughters of all ages are welcome - regardless of age, we know you’ll outlast your dad! Financial assistance is also available. If questions, please call the VAA office or Jeff Sayre 463-2150.
