Girls arrive after dinner with accompanying adults. Craft and other group activities are prepared by the organizing troop to keep the girls busy until around 11 p.m., then it's into sleeping bags to watch a movie. A light breakfast snack and girls are on their way home with fun memories to share. Organizers try to schedule about 10 troops at each dance festival. Cookies and juice are served afterwards.
Dances typically last the length of one song.
Junior Me and My Guy Dance Brownies would love to do this too, but it's a treat we save for Juniors. A combination of popular tunes that anyone can dance to usually gets most of the dads on the dance floor for some of the time at least. Girls enjoy dancing with their friends while Dads chat, until the slow dances when all dad's are swept back to the dance floor by their adoring daughters. Girls often dress up for this while dads just come as they are. It seems to be the one event many girls remember most fondly for years after - as a special time alone with their dad.
