Poly kicked off this year with its annual Sadie Hawkins dance on Tuesday, November 10th. The dance was held in the school’s quad area.
The Sadie Hawkins dance brought an opportunity for the young ladies to experience being nervous and shy before asking that special someone to the dance. The gender roles were flipped. Originally, it’s the gentlemen’s turn to ask the girl of their dreams. Eventually there was a way for the girls to ask the guys. The girls now struggle that guys have to go through to simply ask their crush to the dance.
The temperatures were extremely cold, the sprinklers unfortunately were turned on, and the students were rushing because they were afraid of getting wet. The backdrop was amazing filled with variety of hanging lights, seating sections, signs and wonderful dessert and food.
“I saw a lot of beautiful dresses and the area were amazing,” said junior Ashley Applewhite.
The DJ was playing the music on top of the 100 building roof. The students, teachers, and administration was jamming along.
“The DJ was amazing, it was great because we listened to the music that we like,” noted senior Constance Canada.
“I didn’t regret going because I had fun and the snapchats were going up,” stated junior Essence Walker.
After having ticket sales in the first week, ASB worked hard to promote and make the dance perfect for everyone.
Girls soon built up the courage to persuade the ideal guy to take them to the dance and the Sadie’s proposals began. They put their creativity to the test and created the perfect posters and come bringing gifts. Each poster said cute little phrases to catch the eye of the selected boy. There are also proposal announcements to share openly with students.
During the dance, the girls with their dates were given the choice to take part in a slow dance. Overall, the dance was a success because of the laughter, dancing, and photo-taking.
“It was an amazing experience to see friends and fellow students that had fun,” said senior Khayrssa Malone.
“I’m glad I kick my first year with this dance,” said freshman Marko Lepre.
To be surrounded by many faces and hearing good music is what brings people together to just have fun and enjoy the memories and cherish the moments. The outcome was that the students enjoyed it and they can’t wait for the next dance to be promoted.
