For dancing, please wear hard-sole shoes; athletic shoes or flip flops are not permitted. Ladies are encouraged to wear conservative Sunday dresses or skirts paired with dress shoes and short white gloves, if desired. Gentlemen should opt for khaki pants, white dress shirts, ties, and either navy or black blazers.
The Parent Party calls for a semi-formal attire, so please ensure your dress is suitable. Ladies are encouraged to wear knee-length or longer dresses appropriate for their age, paired with short white gloves, if desired. Gentlemen should opt for khaki pants, white dress shirts, ties, and either navy or dark blazers or suits.
