The Enchanted Prom: A Masquerade Ball 

Thursday, April 16, 2026 6 pm - 12:00 am

Indiana Roof Ballroom 

Eligibility: This dance is designed to serve homeschool high school students and homeschool alumni ages 14-20* along with students who attend non-traditional private Christian schools (and their friends.) So for example, if you are enrolled in 9th grade or higher for the 2025-2026 school year or attending a 2-3 day virtual school or university classes or a small Christian private school that cannot manage to have a dance, this means YOU! 

Eligible attendees may purchase up to one additional ticket for a guest who may not be homeschooled. These guests are in for a treat, as they typically have no idea how much fun homeschoolers are! 

*Ages as of April 16, 2026.

Q: I have a 13 or year old who is enrolled in 9th grade. Can they attend? 

A: It is obviously impossible for us to card attendees, so we leave this to your discretion. The dance is designed for mature high schoolers, so if your 13 year old is very mature and wanting to attend with an older sibling, we won't stop them.  

One Night. Infinite wonder. The Enchanted Prom - A Masquerade Ball, where mystery meets elegance and every mask tells a story.

Formal Ball gowns and Tuxes. (See our attire guidelines for more specific details.)

Masquerade masks to conceal a mystery for a moment. 

The perfect mix of elegance and electricity. 

• Formal sit-down 3-course dinner at the newly renovated Indiana Roof Ballroom. 
• Superior heritage dancing expertly called to curated music by OG Caller Lori Borre.
• DJ Iman Tucker, who brings the dance floor alive with energy and excitement.
• Photo Booth and Candids captured throughout the evening
• 360 camera machine

Tiaras and Top Hats optional. 

Here is how the evening unfolds...

6:00-6:20 Our red carpet welcomes you to mingle and snap pictures with friends and family in front of our Enchanted Prom Step and Repeat banner.

6:20- Once upon a night, the elevators transport you to the top of the world where the ballroom doors open. Wander beneath the stars to find your table, mingle, enjoy a mocktail, or visit the photo booth.  Beneath the glow of twinkling lights, masks conceal, music enchants, and memories are made to last a lifetime.

7:00 - Welcome, Grace, The Doxology Sing, and Dinner Served, Indiana Roof Style. Be Our Guest.

After Dinner ( ~7:50-8:00) The Dance begins. Lose yourself in the music, the laughter, and the enchantment of a night you'll never forget.

8 PM - Midnight 

Be carried away to a timeless past, where heritage dancing and glittering masks filled grand ballrooms and elegance reigned supreme. 

Then be swept into the rhythm of today, as our electrifying DJ, Iman Tucker, brings the beats, the hype, and the heart of the night — keeping the floor alive and every dancer enchanted. 

At 11:20, parents are welcome to join us on the upper level to observe the festivities. Senior Promenade and Senior/Parent Dance details TBD. 

12:00 - At the stroke of midnight, the rainstorm ends the evening with "What a Wonderful World" followed by the Gloria Patri

When you purchase your ticket, you'll receive a bar  code for us to scan. Bring this with as this will be our principal way to check people in. As you're checked in, you'll receive a bracelet to wear for the evening that confirms your check in.

Details coming soon! But don't worry - After you snag your ticket, you will receive a link to several of the dances so you can familiarize yourself. By the time you step on the dance floor, you will likely already know what to do!

Follow us on Instagram @stepsintimeevents for other dance opportunities. We're typically calling several barn dances in the fall.

Q: Why dance lessons? Is it so complicated? A: No! We explain the vast majority of our dances at the actual dance, so anyone can do them with no practice at all. 

Q: Then why practice sessions? 

A: Well first of all, it's just an excuse to get together and have a bunch of fun. 

Also, some of the dances will not be explained because most of the kids know them already or they are easy to learn at home like line dances.  IYKYK dances like the Shim Sham and Postie's Jig are too complex to instruct on-the-fly. 

The Postie's Jig is a HUGE favorite, requested nearly every dance, but impossible to teach from a stage. Once you "get it", you will join the elite Postie's fan club and may even decide to dance this at your wedding! So if you want to be one of the few, the proud, the jubilant, come to a practice session or two! 

But don't worry if you don't know it. No big deal! Just dance something else or take a 5 minute break for some soda. 

The same goes for the Shim Sham. For most, it will be just another swing dance. But for those who know, it will be a chance to participate in a nearly 100 year old swing tradition. 

One of the things that makes our Homecoming dance so amazing, so different, and so fun is our dancing. At some dances, students stand around, afraid to dance or move. Not at this dance! Here, kids actually come to ... dance (and make new friends)! With the one-two punch of Lori and Iman, most kids dance every dance! 

Our skilled caller helps even first-timers feel comfortable and confident.  Having said that, if you want to be sure you've got a handle on things, you have two options. 

When you purchase your ticket, you will receive a link to view many of the traditional dances. These are easy to de-construct and learn! Also, we are planning dance lessons for you to attend. That way, when you finally hit the dance floor, you'll know that you know that you know what to do! 

Q: Do I have to have a ticket to Homecoming to attend dance lessons? 

A: NO! Everyone is welcome to attend dance lessons! They are almost as fun as the Homecoming itself.  

Lessons are offered for free or a nominal charge based upon our obligations to the facility.

Eligibility for lessons is the same as for the dance.
