Square Dance In the City
Fall Dance Thrills
by Selena Ma and Michael Zamudio
A typical Saturday night at the
Valley Christian campus does not usually consist of 594 students dancing
in the large gym. However, on October 15, VC students came to celebrate
the annual Square Dance. The large gym was festively decorated “barn
yard” style with an array of farm animals and crepe paper. The student
body stepped away from the usual matching t-shirts outfit and transformed
the dance into more of a costume party. The senior class definitely
outdid themselves with outrageous costumes such as penguin suits,
knights and damsels, and even washer and dryer machines.
Students started the night by mingling in the gym and checking out
the different, unique outfits. The music varied from techno to alternative
to oldies. Students enjoyed the company of their friends and danced
night away. The dancing ranged from long trains of people running
around the gym floor to people doing the electric slide. Everyone
joined in the fun and showed outgoing attitudes throughout the night.
Senior Annah Karakas exclaimed, “I had a great time going with friends!
I didn’t expect such a big turn-out.”
Also, there was a variety of activities other than dancing. Some students
chose to stand by the snack table eating treats while others waited
it out in the extremely long lines for pictures. The freshmen who
experienced a Valley Christian School dance for the first time were
surprised by the amount of effort and creativity that was put into
the outfits of the upperclassmen. Many students spent their time walking
around admiring all the great ideas for costumes. Junior Ben
Williams stated, “This year I decided to let my girlfriend
Lauren Grace pick the outfit, and she chose the idea
of an ice cream man, so I went with it!” Every year there are always
a few students who do something outrageous for their costume, but
this year there were more crazy outfits than ever before.
All in all, the night was a success and students enjoyed their Square
Dance in the City.
