10 Thank You Notes For Dance Dads this Father’s Day

June 17, 2021

Dance dads: where would we be without them? Of course, they wouldn’t have the coveted title of “Dance Dad” if it weren’t for their dancing kids (let’s face it: no matter how old you are, you’ll always be their kid).

So for Father’s Day, Dance Spirit has drafted some Jimmy Fallon-style thank you notes for all the Dance Dads out there. Cue the pensive piano music.

Thank you Dance Dads, for wearing T-shirts that say “*Studio Name* Dance Dad,” in case anyone wasn’t sure what you were doing at a performing arts center on a random weekend.

Thank you Dance Dads, for going full on HGTV when it’s time to build a prop for a performance.

Thank you Dance Dads, for not complaining every time your dancer drops $100 on a pair of shoes that will only last a few weeks, or a costume that will be worn only once or twice.

Thank you Dance Dads, for nodding and pretending you understand the difference between scoring an Elite High Gold versus a Platinum versus a Double Platinum versus a Crystal.

Thank you Dance Dads, for acting as a 5-star Uber to class and competitions, and not even taking tips.

Thank you Dance Dads, for being the loudest cheerleaders in the audience—don’t believe it when your dancer says you’re embarrassing them!

Thank you Dance Dads, for spending Father’s Day at a dance competition or recital at least once in your life…and probably more.

Thank you Dance Dads, for being your dancer’s first duet partner by letting them step on your feet as you twirled around the room.

Thank you Dance Dads, for buying enough flowers to cover a Rose Parade float.

Thank you Dance Dads, for doing it all, because you love your dancer(s)!
