[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oldest DC is now in HS and I remember being completely surprised how much MS dances have changed since I was that age!

There's no slow dancing and the music is typically an upbeat mix of hip-hop, latin and pop. There's also food and extras like photo booths, props/give-aways/accessories and fun backdrops, all social media ready. "Dancing" consists of kids energetically jumping up and down and forming circles so kids can do tricks, otherwise show off or attempt to dance battle. Phones are always out, and it's all captured and readily available in real time, online. There are still plenty of opportunities for kids to just hang out on the perimeter, bathrooms or outside space, if available.

FWIW, not that much changes in HS. There's still no slow dancing, but more songs that give a bump and grind feel. Established couples will spend time together, but it's still largely just a big social free-for-all, with more hormones in play :wink: [/quote]

Thanks for confirming - it’s about showing off. It sounds incredibly stupid. [/quote]

Are you the dad from Footloose? It’s ok now. The dancing can’t hurt you anymore.[/quote]
