The Door County YMCA will host its inaugural Spring Fling Semiformal Dance on Friday, April 10, offering teens across the peninsula a chance to gather, socialize and celebrate the season.
The event, scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Sturgeon Bay Program Center, is open to students in grades 6 through 9. The dance is designed to bring together teens from across Door County, regardless of where they attend school. The Spring Fling Dance is free and open to both members and non-members.
“Most schools have dances that are exclusive to the kids within their own school district,” said Becky Brown, fine arts instructor with the YMCA.
“This is a chance for kids from any school situation, whether it’s home schooling or online schooling, to get together with friends within their community, friends from across Door County,” Brown said.
The evening will feature music, dancing and opportunities for teens to connect in a supervised, welcoming environment. Attendees are encouraged to dress up, take photos and enjoy a traditional dance experience with a broader community feel.
Brown said the YMCA plays a unique role in hosting events that bring people together. “The YMCA continues to be a great third space for these types of events. It is a hub of the community,” she said.
Brown says the inaugural Spring Fling aims to complement existing youth programming while fostering new connections among teens throughout the peninsula.
