Dani's first dance... the middle school (grades 6-8) held it's first dance of the year on Thursday night (which is like a Friday night) from 7-9pm. As we dropped Dani off, I got to sneak a peak of her getting her hand stamped as she walked through the door. She met a big group of her friends there. During the dance they played the limbo, had a raffle, played ping pong, could buy snacks, etc. Groups of boys and girls danced together. Dani said only the boys would dance in the middle of the circle. There were only 2 slow dances for which mostly only 8th graders danced.
I just got a "Moomm, stop asking me about the dance" grunt from Dani. Enough, enough, I suppose. At least she is ok with me making this post. :)

Here is Dani headed out to the dance. Girls were dressed in a wide range of clothing from jeans to fancier dresses.

This is the entrace hallway. I helped decorate. I painted all of the stuff in light blue. Looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself!
