Dance with Me

(Formerly Daddy Daughter)

Join in the fun and bond with your child as you both prepare for an unforgettable dance recital! The Dance with Me routine will be performed at the end of your dancer’s show. All APA Dancers are invited to ask their grown up – parent, grandparent, or any other role model, to dance (not just the little ones)!
