Dessert Dance

This spring we will be having a dessert dance. The dessert dance is the biggest dance of the year and is only for 8th graders. We, the 8th graders got the option to choose the theme. Many ideas came up, but I voted for Netherland. I think this theme would be very fun! It would suit our class best, because it shows how most of us want to stay in this Neverland and not really grow up. Growing up means a lot of responsibilities and you have to be more independent. The jump from middle school to high school is very big and we change a lot and it is the time when we are actually starting to grow up (maybe) and start our lives as an adult. I guess we don't all grow up, but it is still a big change. In middle school you are kinda just screwing around having a good time then high school comes along. You start to actually think about growing up and maybe start to a bit. Then college comes and that is when you actually have to start growing up. It is a long process to becoming an adult. Leaving middle will be one step closer to being an adult and to starting the journey. Having Neverland as a theme would give us a chance to be in Neverland one last time before we part for high school. Some ideas as far as decorations go would be silhouettes of peter pan characters. We could have quotes around the gym from Peter Pan about growing up and changing. I will contribute to help make this night wonderful by being on the dance committee. I can help make decorations that way and design the dance. I think that whichever theme we do it is going to be amazing and very fun, but I do think Neverland is a good idea. I can't wait for the dessert dance!!
