Dance Dad & Cheer Dad Hats

Every dance studio and cheer gym has a dad in the back row. He has never landed a pirouette, but he knows the ballet bun kit (bobby pins, elastics, a net) and has paid for the costume, the sequins and the bows. The wallet is the most proven joke in this community: shirts titled Dance Dad I Don't Dance I Finance, Cheer Dad Only Flip My Wallet and My Bank Account Just Hit Zero Cheer Dad are sold as dad gifts. So DANCE DAD / I DON'T DANCE / I FINANCE and CHEER DAD / THE ONLY THING I FLIP / IS MY WALLET lead the set. THE DANCEFATHER, a name already sold on dance dad caps, arrives as an arch. LOUDEST CHEER DAD IN THE GYM is for the voice heard over the music at nationals, and MY FAVORITE CHEERLEADER CALLS ME DAD is the proud flag. One list of things dads of daughters know includes the term pirouette, so DANCE DAD / I DON'T KNOW WHAT A PIROUETTE IS is for the dad still working on it, and DANCE DAD / I KNOW THE WHOLE ROUTINE is for the one who could take the floor himself. The Washington Post's Sarah Kaufman called the dad who dances with his daughter "the opposite of embarrassing." Two plain badges, DANCE DAD and CHEER DAD, anchor the set, and like the shirts they make a Father's Day gift. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat.
