Primrose School at Afton Village will host a Princes & Princesses Dance Party to encourage families to get moving for healthy lifestyles and enter the Primrose Schools® Family Dance-off to win as much as $30,000 for Levine Children’s Hospital. In each classroom, students will dance for healthy bodies and happy hearts during their individual music classes. Teachers, parents and special guests, including Emily Bootcheck of Levine Children’s Hospital, will be encouraged to jump in and dance along with the children.
The event is part of the Primrose Schools® Family Dance-off campaign to fight childhood obesity. In partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, Primrose is asking parents to submit a 30-second home video of their family’s best dance moves. From Saturday, Feb. 25 to Friday, March 23, contestants can upload their videos to FamilyDanceoff.com, and visitors can cast one vote per day for their favorite video. Each week the four videos with the most votes will advance to the finalist round. Finalists will compete for the grand prize of $5,000 and a $30,000 donation to their Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. The second prize winner will receive $3,000 and a $20,000 donation to their Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, and the third prize family will win $1,500 and a $15,000 donation to their Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.
