Garland, Texas, is rolling out the red carpet for some very special young ladies and the leading men in their lives with the Viva Havana Sweetheart Dance. Set for a night of twirls and giggles, daughters, granddaughters, and nieces aged between three to fifteen are welcome to dance the night away in the arms of their dapper dads, groovy grandads, and fun-loving uncles. This family-friendly event is just a click away at PlayGarland.com, or for the analog at heart, tickets can be scooped up at any Garland Recreation Center.
While last year's dance set the bar high, this year's Latin-inspired Viva Havana theme promises to ratchet up the fun with lively music, colorful decorations, and a festive atmosphere. However, only having gotten the ball rolling with an announcement made on January 10, the planners are buzzing to make the experience unforgettable for the youngsters and their escorts. Every detail, from the music to the mojitos (non-alcoholic, of course), is being designed to whisk participants off to a night in Havana, minus the flight, as per the City of Garland.
The Sweetheart Dance prides itself on being more than just a dance—it's an opportunity for some first-rate family bonding. Garland’s community leaders see this event as a chance for little girls to experience how they should expect to be treated on a date, setting a high standard for their future suitors. By hanging their coats and holding their hands, these family men can show their sweethearts the ropes of respect and chivalry in a world that could use a few more gentlemen.
