Woodland Hills Father Daughter Valentine Dance

ST. MEL ACTIVITY CENTER
20870 VENTURA BOULEVARD
$18.00 per person
Purchase tickets in advance as they will not be sold at the door. Tickets are available at the St. Mel Parish Center or Franklin's Hardware at 21936 Ventura Boulevard.
In the decade between preschool and high school, a father's relationship with his daughter is vitally important.  It affects her self-esteem and her expectations for how she is treated by the different boys who will (eventually) steal her heart away.  A Father-Daughter Dance allows daughters to experience a unique and special evening out with Dad.  It also allows Dads to shower their daughters with the love and attention their daughters crave, in a safe and fun environment.  (Father figures also welcome.) www.whfatherdaughterdance.com
 
Drum Circle
It is really fun. There can be from 75-100 kids there -- from babies to ten year olds -- and tons of real drums of every size and shape, from bongos to congas to djembes and more. There are big baskets of maracas, tambourines, and rhythm sticks you can use, too. The leader wears a mike so you can hear him and teaches you a little bit about hand drumming, and bangs out some rhythms on a cowbell for the kids to copy. Afterwards you can play a giant gong-like drum used in the Rose Parade, or your child can try playing a real drum kit with a high hat
(makes for some adorable photos). And it's FREE. Every Sat at 11 AM on Coldwater Canyon just N of Sherman Way in the Valley:
