DOVER, NH — More than 168 dads and daughters attended the Portsmouth Christian Academy Father/Daughter Dance on Oct. 17.  Guests, dressed in their best attire (some complete with matching western outfits) enjoyed a large buffet dinner of tacos with all the fixings, fresh fruit, and sweets. They danced throughout the evening to a blend of contra and country square dance music.

With no experience necessary, the professional “Caller” guided the dads with their daughters through a series of figures or moves with each other and then with other couples. These figures were repeated and combined in different ways for each different dance.

“It was a fun and enjoyable evening for all who attended. I even heard of one father who drove here from Pennsylvania to be with his two girls,” said NellAnn Hiatt, a parent volunteer who coordinated the dance. “This event is such a memory builder. It is a great way to encourage dads to spend quality time with their daughters.”
Portsmouth Christian Academy is located at 20 Seaborne Drive, Dover, NH. Directions to the school can be found on its website, www.pcaschool.org. For more information, please call 603.742.3617.
