Enjoy a delicious meal and dance the night away with our fabulous dance callers Wes and Rachel Hurd as well as homeschoolers from around North Texas!

GUIDELINES: PLEASE READ
1. This is a homeschool function ONLY. Please do not bring non-homeschool friends along. Our family dances are a great place for that!
2. Dress Code will be monitored closely. Ladies and gentlemen not adhering to the dress code ALL NIGHT will be asked to change or leave. We have a "three strike policy." If we have to ask a student three times to don their shawl, etc., it is an automatic removal from the dance with no refund. Please contact us IN ADVANCE if you are wondering if your student has appropriate attire!
3. Ladies attire guidelines:
No strapless dresses (off the shoulder is fine; please provide a shrug or jacket for strapless dresses and explain to your student these must be worn all night long)
No low back dresses (must be solid fabric starting at just below shoulderblades)
No see-through sides, cutouts, bare midriffs
Necklines should be straight across, armpit to armpit, solid fabric. No cleavage showing or plunging necklines (cleavage is defined as the hollow or line between the breasts).
Skirt length must be at or below knee. This applies to all openings, slits, etc..
Undergarments present but not visible
Bike shorts recommend under flowing dresses
Pantsuits must be pre-approved
Formal wear only, no costumes or cosplay
If you must tug at, pull up or down, or otherwise adjust your dress in order to meet guidelines, modifications are needed. Your dress should be compliant with dress code throughout the entire night and all activities.
4. Gentlemen attire guidelines:
Tuxedoes, suits, sport coats permissible

We really want your students to have a great time and do not want them to miss out on the fun because they had to go change. Please text or email us with pics if you are in doubt. There are generally very easy solutions to fix any issues.
