The Dance Assembly

Hello,

So today I was forced to sit through one of my most dreaded assemblies of the year – the dance assembly. This assembly consists of watching the middle school dance team make fools of themselves by trying to dance to fun songs. Though the music selection is generally pretty good, and the costumes aren’t too bad either, the dances are, well, bad. They can’t help it though. First off they are dealing with kids from ages 11 to 14. That’s a pretty big gap in terms of ability, so some of the dances are really easy and are quite frankly boring, while others are more interesting but are too hard for some of the girls causing it to look like a train wreck. Since the girls don’t have to try it can get pretty, er, interesting. Really the only reason you would take dance is because you either want to get on the dance team in high school (which is actually pretty good), or you don’t want to do a competitive sport.

The next bit of the assembly consisted of watching the high school dance team perform, which although painful to the ears (a.k.a they have AWFUL music) is pretty pleasing visually. To get on the team you have to try out which is definitely why their team is WAAY better than the middle school team, apart from the fact that they are older girls and usually take dance classes out of school. Overall it was a waste of my valuable G-block resource, which only comes twice a week. The worst part was at the end though, when they announced the high school would be having a fashion show and TEACHERS WILL BE MODELING. KILL ME NOW. PLEASE.
