Father/Daughter Dance at the Carnegie Arts Center
On February 6, a dozen little girls from Howard Wilson Elementary, with their dads and grandpas in tow, skipped into the Carnegie Arts Center. They came for “Dads, Daughters, and Dance,” a special father/daughter event organized by Barbara Carter (Parent Liason at Howard Wilson Elementary School) and Holly York (Education and Outreach Coordinator at the Carnegie Arts Center).
The girls giggled in their tiaras and Disney Princess shoes and the dads nervously looked around the room as the dance lesson began. Frank Geib, Ballroom Dance instructor at the Carnegie Arts Center, taught the father/daughter duos the Foxtrot and Merengue upstairs in the dance studio, before cutting them loose to try out their new moves. Once the dance lessons were complete the dads and daughters came back downstairs to the reception room where they were served refreshments and given another opportunity to put on their dancing shoes.
Barbara Carter has collaborated with the Carnegie Arts Center on several other parent/child activities in the past, including “Dads, Drama, and (Hot)Dogs” and “Papas, Pizza, and Pottery.” There are more special parent/child activities planned for March and April of 2010. All of these events are designed to help parents take a more active role in their child’s education.
“Dads, Daughters, and Dance” was catered by June Meyer (the Carnegie Arts Center’s “Donor of the Year” in 2009) of June’s Cottage and Café.
