An Emerald Evening: Parent-Child Dance - Winter 2026

NORA invites families to An Emerald Evening: Parent-Child Dance — a sparkling, emerald-themed celebration designed for parents and children to enjoy a special night out together.

Doors open at 5:45pm at White Pines Intermediate School, where families will begin the evening with dinner in the cafeteria which will be served until 6:45pm. After dinner, participants will head to the main gym for a beginner-friendly dance lesson led by Ms. Samantha Farrar from Spotlight Dance Academy starting at 7pm giving families plenty of time to enjoy music, movement, and festive emerald-inspired décor. Light refreshments will be served in the gym throughout the evening. The event concludes at 8:00pm.

This event is open to children in grades 1 - 8 and a special adult of their choosing. No dance experience is necessary — just bring your favorite grown-up, dress in your emerald city-inspired best if you’d like, and come ready to dance, laugh, and create lasting memories together.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What should we wear to the dance?: Whatever you want! The decor theme for the evening will be An Emerald Evening loosely based on the Wicked movie so if you want to wear your Emerald City best, you're welcome to do so but if you are more excited to chow down and dance than dress up, you're welcome to dress like you're chilling in the dorms at Shiz University! No dress code - wear what you want!
  • What's included in registration?: Dinner for two, dance instruction and a fun evening full of memories!
  • Can I register multiple kids?: Yes - you are welcome to register as many kids within the age range that you would like but we do suggest an adult attend with each child for the dance lesson portion. We will have a few volunteers from Grand Haven High School National Honors Society to fill in while dancing in case a child doesn't have their own dance partner.
  • What's for dinner?: Dinner will be buffet style - menu tbd - check back soon!
