There will be 2 identical dances for 2 age groups this Saturday, February 4:

5:30 to 7:30 p.m. - Girls age infant through 7
8:00 to 10:00 p.m. - Girls age 8 and up

Tickets are only $7 per person and can be purchased online at www.roundrockrecreation.com or in person at the Clay Madsen Recreation Center or the Parks & Recreation office located at 301 West Bagdad, Suite 250. You may also purchase tickets by phone by calling 218-5540.

Both dances are identical. If you have multiple daughters, we recommend selecting one of the two dances for you all to attend. This event usually sells out so get your tickets early!
