High school dance!?!?
Okay, so question for all you high schoolers out there...or anyone really...so, I'm gonna be a junior this year, and they just sent registration packets in the mail a few weeks ago, and in the packet was a flyer that said Homecoming was coming up on September 10th. So, my question is this: why do high schools have dances in the first place??? I mean, I just get the feeling that high school dances are so dumb, because one of the rules at our school is that you aren't allowed to show PDA- (public displays of affection) and so, if that's a rule, why do you have dances, with a million couples, who will probably end up kissing or doing something of the sort, PLUS, high school love isn't really true love. My parents met long after high school at a dance club or through a mutual friend or something. Everyone I know always tells me that most relationships that you have in high school won't last throughout the years, and that you'll meet someone better or a new person or someone else, and stuff like that. So why do they have dances, when the main focus of high school is to get an education and find out what you want to be in life? Sports are fine because you can be a pro person in a sport, but dances? They're pointless in my book. I know it's only my second year of high school, but I never even get asked in the first place, and I'm probably not going to get asked. Which kind of sucks, buuut, you know. And even if I do get asked, everyone says a high school dance like homecoming or prom, or sadie hawkins or whatever is awkward, because you have no idea what to talk about, and if someone just asks you just to get a date but you don't know each other, ya, that's kinda....ya. Haha. Weird. Anyways, can someone please tell me what the big deal is about high school dances? There are other occaisions you can wear a dress to, and the dresses are expensive, a corsage is costly, dinner, transportation, and it all just ends up in broken hearts anyway. How many of you know someone who met in high school and are married with kids today? Cuz I only know like 1 person who is still with their high school lover and has kids, and I know a ton of people. And it's just kind of dumb in my book. Please answer my question cuz I really want to figure this out. Thanks guys!
How to get guys to grind with you at a high school dance?
Haha funny question. :) Okay, so I'm in middle school, and I'm going to be a freshman next year, but I middle schoolers are no different from high schoolers besides the age difference. So, if you're a freshman, then you will definitely find it hard to get guys to grind with you. You're a freshman a.k.a. fresh meat, and most seniors and junior and sophomores doesn't really deal with freshman's like that because they still think your still intact with middle school. That's why no one really bothers the freshman. But like, there is absolutely no way for you to get a guy to grind with you. Because first, you'll get in trouble with the staff, and second, the only way you can pull that off is if you have a boyfriend. No one is going to randomly come up to some and ask to grind. If you look sexy and all and your dancing sexy guys will probably be like DANG! But their not going to do that. It's just a rule for guys, that hardly gets talked about, but needs to get talked about. Besides, grinding on someone random only works if your in a club. So, you should just bring a friend! Both of you dress all cute, and then to get the guys interested both of you grind on each other. Not in a lesbian way, just in a way girls do when their having fun! I hope this helps for you! xx
I know this question is a bit old but I have a slightly different view on this and wanted to share. Normal school dances at the school are declining in number at my school, and I haven't been to one since grade 7, but I know the people who organize it always decorate very well, and a decent number of people show up. We have themes, like beach party or black and white, and if people dress according to the theme, they get a ticket discount. HOWEVER, we have one big dance open to gr9+ which is our semi formal (the gr12 formal is only open to gr12s and their dates) and that is a BIG event held at a different venue every year, sometimes a club, sometimes a cool event venue. I go, and it's fun, even for an introvert like myself. Dressing up before and doing makeup all with your friends once a year is fun, and going to some cool venue makes you feel really special. The music is very loud and your hearing is lost for a bit afterwards, but if the songs are good and everyone sings along, that, and bouncing to the music, is already fun by itself. True, there isn't much real "dancing" but some people have good moves (cheering people on in dance circles is part of the excitement), and otherwise, losing yourself in the music is a good experience. There isn't much "grinding" either; most of the "dancing" is jumping up and down to the music while in a circle facing your friends and acting out the lyrics. When you're tired, the food is good, and there's usually some section of the venue that is slightly separate from the dance floor where you can sit and just talk to friends. There's usually only 1 or 2 slow dances, because the vast majority of people don't go with dates, but during those, forming circles and swaying back and forth with your friends is the best. The energy is just really different from normal life, and if you allow yourself to be carried away with the excitement of the crowd, you can really enjoy yourself. I wouldn't go if it was a monthly thing or even quarterly thing, but it being an annual thing makes it special.
High School Dance??????????????
1) I don't care about the songs. I listen to rock, but I just get lost in the beat. 2) High school girls are probably drunk at the dances, and they are just whores. 3) They suck. Party in the USA for the lose 4) If you don't grind, just bob your head and move your hips. NEVER look at the floor. 5) They are loud. If you don't want to possibly damage your hearing, bring earplugs. 6) Every school varies, but for my school (in order) its: Luau (back to school), Homecoming, Winter Formal, Prom (juniors and seniors only), and Morp (prom backwards, its supposed to be like the opposite of prom). And there may be a Valentine's day one, but idk
High School Dances how many and what are the names of them?
I know at my daughter's school, they have what they call 5th Quarter parties. Usually after a game and HOPEFULLY after a win. Bad part is they aren't very long. Courtwarming: Basketball answer to Homecoming. yeah. At college, we had a sorority that did a MARDI GRAS party. Clubs and Classes can sponser dances. The LACK of, what we called, MIXERS is kinda strange. Just a dance after school to get together. We had fun.
Should I go to my last high school dance?
Well, if any of you remember from 2 months ago, I made a big deal about whether I should go to the February dance or not. I didn't go to that one in the end, I was happy with my choice. Although I don't want to go to this dance, I feel like i'm obliged to go since its my last high school dance ever (prom doesn't count), and that its free for senior students like myself. So should I go? (Note: please ignore the category I put this question in. I put this question under Arts & Humanities > Dancing because there is dancing at school dances no? Since its a semi-formal dance i'll only go if I can wear my multi-colored suit and if I can perfect the electric eel dance, LOL kidding)
What happens at high school dances?
It quite will depend on the pupils at your institution, I went to each individual and public prime colleges and the general public one used to be obviously extra grinding and wild dancing, as there have been significantly extra pupils to manipulate. Honestly, grinding at your age is disgusting for every body else to look at. Try Gangnam Style, however be certain you additionally recognize the Electric Slide and that one Cha-cha track every body continuously places on that tells you how one can dance. OR take into account the Safety Dance. You can dance when you wish to, you'll go away your peers at the back of.. it quite does not topic. If they are trying to make amusing of you for dancing a designated manner, inform them YOLO and do what you wish.
Can you "grind" at your high school dances?
In high school, yes. Within reason. If there was TOO much action, the teachers would break it up, but I don't think that happened often. Maybe one that i went to. People were fairly tame, though I did grow up in the country. In middle school (aka, public school for me K-8), no one really even danced together. The catholic high school near us didn't allow it. You had to be 15 inches away from your partner at all times, and they had a special ruler they would use to make sure people were the appropriate distance apart. Now that I'm in college I go to clubs where I can do whatever I want and removal of clothing is encouraged (not that I've ever done that, haha, but I've seen it happen). I just keep thinking.. If I were to go back to a high school dance now, i sure would teach THEM a lesson!
It makes you preemptive….Just kidding.I’m curious that you were drunk before rather than during or after the dance.I’m not especially advocating for any of the three states (before, during or after).But I wonder: did you drink because you were nervous about attending?I recommend you never do it again because the worst embarrassment you could experience at a social event due to awkwardness, anxiety, dread or even social incompetence is a tiny fraction of the disgrace and disaster and remorse that you can experience as a result of drunkenness.I’m not saying this to be a wowser (a weird Australian term that refers to people who are anti-hedonist or just general fun-stoppers) but because alcohol causes more heartache than good — in general.But maybe this isn’t the case? Maybe you got drunk for no real reason other than that you haven’t got much experience with alcohol and the first time you drank any quantity of it, it did to you what alcohol is pretty much designed to do: inebriate?So I will turn the question back on you:Why do you care what strangers (Quorans) think of your drunkenness before the dance?Isn’t it much more important for you to decide how you feel about it?Do you feel good about it or do you fell shit about it or somewhere in between?How will you approach your next school dance in light of what happened last time?I suspect your experience with alcohol is nothing to do with being smart or being stupid and everything to do with just living life and having experiences.I realise that I have not answered your question. You want people to tell you that you’re stupid or that you’re not. But my answer is that you’re human. And like every human, you can’t undo the past but you can decide how to approach the future.
