“Oh My Sweetheart!” – Parents’ Group hosts annual Lower School Daddy Daughter Dance
Shared by Denise Colangelo, President of the Parents’ Group
On Saturday, Feb. 3, fifty-eight combined fathers, grandfathers and girls descended upon the West Lounge wearing their finest dancing shoes for a night of dinner, dancing and sweet treats!
The room was transformed and filled with candy heart decorations to go with this year’s theme “Sweetheart Dance”. Girls were greeted with their own sweetheart cup and light up ring before taking photos with the special men in their lives.
Sage put on a spectacular display of delicious cuisine for all to enjoy. Guests feasted on steak, grilled chicken with cream sauce, wild mushroom ravioli, rice pilaf antipasto, and caprese salad with a choice of spa water, pink lemonade or sweet tea. The food was so good that many guests came back for second and third helpings
The dessert table was filled with a variety of mini strawberry and chocolate cakes, brownie bites, cookies and jello parfaits. A candy bar was also set up and the girls were able to select their favorite treats and take them home in small treat bags for later.
Then the dance party got underway! Guests danced to the latest pop songs, personal requests and traditional father-daughter songs. They got down and boogied with the Electric Slide, Chicken Dance, Congo Line and YMCA.
