Lights, camera, memories!
One of the community’s most beloved spring traditions made a stylish return this April as Southern Lakes Parks & Recreation (SLPR) rolled out the red carpet – literally – for its annual Mother-Son Dance. This year’s glamorous “Red Carpet Dance” theme invited families to step into the spotlight for a night of Hollywood-worthy fun, laughter and unforgettable memories.
Dressed to impress in their finest star-studded attire, moms and sons arrived ready to shine. The evening featured a festive blend of music, dancing and sweet moments set against a backdrop of glitz and glitter. From dance floor moves to poses in the photo booth, every corner of the venue was alive with joy.
With an average of 100 attendees each year, the event has grown into a true community favorite, offering a rare and heartwarming opportunity for moms and sons to dress up, let loose, and simply enjoy each other’s company. At just $25 per couple (plus $5 per additional child), it’s also one of area’s most affordable and family-friendly nights out.
“This dance is always such a heartwarming experience,” said an SLPR spokesperson. “It’s not just about the dancing – it’s about the connection, the tradition, and making time for these important moments between parents and their kids.”
Of course, no red carpet event would be complete without snacks and treats, a lively DJ spinning crowd favorites, and plenty of sparkle to go around. Whether it was a young gentleman offering a hand to his mom or a shared laugh during a silly dance move, the night was packed with memories that will last long after the lights dimmed.
