About the event

WhenFri, Nov 13, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
WhereBranches of Dance, 4425 Pottsville Pike, Reading

Branches of Dance opens its doors for an evening built around Thanksgiving fun while parents take a few hours for themselves. From 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Friday, November 13, kids settle in at the Pottsville Pike studio for a Friendsgiving celebration with games, crafts, and plenty of room to move.

The night mixes seasonal activities with dancing, so children can make something to bring home, join in group games, and take part in gratitude activities that fit the season. Staff keep the schedule moving, and the format works well for siblings attending together. A dinner option is available for families who want their child fed before pickup.

The event is open to the whole community, not just students enrolled at the studio, making it an easy introduction for families who have been curious about the space. Parents drop off at 6:00 PM and return by 9:00 PM.
