While Garner was excited to greet her young fans, her character in The Tribes of Palos Verdes most likely wouldn't attend any such dance as the actress is portraying a mother of two teenagers that is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

In addition to shooting this drama, Ben Affleck's ex is also busy promoting her latest film Miracles From Heaven, and revealed to ET that it was one of her daughters that encouraged her to get back to work. "She said, 'Mom, it's really your turn,'" Garner recalled. "'We'll be OK. You should do it!'"
