If you thought prom night was only a teenage rite of passage, think again: Plymouth is bringing the glitz and the glam down to the kiddie level with its Pint-Sized Prom, breaking out the dance floor for tots and their grown-ups. Scheduled to light up the Plymouth Community Center from 6-8 p.m. on Friday, April 4, this unique event invites pint-sized partygoers aged 3 to 10 to strut their stuff on the red carpet and bust a move in the ballroom, as reported by the City of Plymouth's bulletin.
Drop the notion of a sitter for the night and grab your little ones because this shindig is a family affair, whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or a special adult, it's a chance to create memories with the younger set - with photo ops, dancing and refreshments adding to the fuss. Although the typical prom pomp might call for formal wear, this bash is laid-back with an option for casual attire, so there’s no need to panic over spilled punch on a rented tux or a poufy princess gown, the bulletin clarified.
Tickets can be snagged online faster than a toddler's attention span changes, via Plymouth's official website, or if you're old school, reach out to their Parks and Recreation Department at 763-509-5200; a quick call should do the trick. Pricing is well within the realm of reasonable for a night out with the littles: $45 per Plymouth-resident couple and $54 if you hail from further afield, plus an additional $20 tag for extra kiddos or adults because the more, the merrier, right?
Consider this a top-to-bottom mini gala affair, minus the curfew and the teenage drama, a perfect chance for parents to enjoy a night of fun with their toddlers that don’t involve negotiating bedtime - or negotiating with your child's indecision between dancing to Baby Shark or Frozen for the umpteenth time, because let's face it, variety is the spice of life even if your dance partner only reaches your knee, no information on the musical playlist was shared by the City of Plymouth although one can imagine it will be both tot-friendly and adult-tolerable.
