The Daddy/Daughter dance is a wonderful opportunity for Dad to spend quality time with his daughter. Together they will learn a dance that they will perform during Kick’s May 18th showcase at Count Basie. Dancers must be three years of age by January 1st in order to participate in Daddy Daughter. New this year we will have 2 groups, one especially for our younger dancers ages 3-8 and one for ages 9 and up To check out a video of a previous year’s dance, click here!
For the performance, dads will need a dark suit. Our younger group will need a white dress and the older dancers have a surprise routine so costumes will be directed to dads and daughters directly. Please read the following information very carefully before committing to the Daddy/Daughter Dance.
The non-refundable fee to participate is $169 (includes all rehearsals) This fee is non-refundable, so moms, make sure the dad actually knows about the dance, rehearsal dates and times and is fully committed before signing up. New this year we will have 2 groups – our younger group is for ages 3-8, and our older group is for ages 9 and up (or on Premiere, Connections or Edge team) .

The rehearsal schedule is subject to change. We try our hardest not to change the rehearsal schedule, but this is “showbiz” and circumstances beyond our control frequently cause schedule changes.
- We will communicate with Daddy/Daughter participants via email only. If you do not have email or if you never check your email, please do not register for the Daddy/Daughter dance. You are required to check your email weekly when you are a Daddy/Daughter participant.
- Dance is difficult. It is a “team sport”. Everybody on stage depends on everyone else to put on a great show. Remember, the Daddy/Daughter dance is an experience that will last a lifetime. Spending time at rehearsal and working through difficult situations with your daughter is as significant as performing the actual dance.
- All rehearsals are “Closed Rehearsals”, meaning friends and family may not watch the daddy daughter rehearsals.
All 3 rehearsals are required to learn the dance. Unfortunately, we are unable to alter the rehearsal schedule to accommodate individual travel plans, illness, vacation etc.
