All but one of Grace’s Squad walked towards the gym where the assembly is adhered. Mason was hiding in Lab Room A, panicking because he had planned to ask Grace to the dance during the assembly.

Mason says “I don’t trust you being alone with Grace.”
Grace says, “Maybe later we can talk Lucas. After I calm down, come Maya and Mason lets go get some Dutch Bros.” Mason and Maya walks Grace down the hallway with Grace in the middle. But Lucas didn’t give up, he begged Grace to give her five minutes to explaining. Grace was getting a headache, too much thoughts were going through her mind. The dance is coming up, she still needs to find the perfect shoes for her dress, waiting for Mason to ask her for the dance, trying to set up dates for Daisy, Olivia, and Maya; and now Lucas wanting five minutes of her time to explain her why he asked her to the dance. Grace was getting weak on her knees.
Lucas says, “If you wouldn’t give me five minutes then I’ll steal them.” Grace turns around in confusion of what Lucas was saying. Lucas runs towards Grace, picking her up over his shoulders and carries her to Lab Room A; which is three to four corners away. Lucas ran pretty fast especially having Grace over his shoulder. Lucas out runned Maya and

    To be apart of the All Iowa Honor Dance Team is the greatest honor any high school dance team member in the state of Iowa can receive. The honor team is created of 250 girls that outshined the other 500 that auditioned for a spot on the floor. Nothing is more nerve racking than only being allowed two minutes to prove to a panel of judges, without a retry. It’s not a basketball game where a time out can be called and one can try the play again, and if the play fails and the game is lost, another game is right around the corner to try again. This is one chance, one shot that you can’t change.…

    As part of an old high school tradition, hundreds of students crowded into a dimly lit cafeteria and danced until the air hung heavy and sweat glistened off every square inch of exposed skin. The schools that began the tradition of the modern homecoming dance most likely did not expect it to evolve into what it is today; at some point, we, as students, lost the true purpose of the event and instead became preoccupied with image. Even though I would have liked to think that those things did not matter, I still found myself altering my appearance that Saturday night to try and show off the best version of myself. I was not alone; other females joined me amidst a pile of cosmetic products and styling tools, and we had the pictures to showcase…

    Hi Ms. Pierce, Hope you had a wonderful break and a nice day, The word I would use to describe my break is deciphering because I got a break from dance and school. For example, I was able to sleep to try to avenge the early wakings during school days and early dance practices. In addition to that, I had nothing to be concerned about. Having a break from both school and dance gave me time to think about myself and what I wanted for my future; besides, I was able to unwind. The time I had was crucial to me because sometimes in the middle of all the activities in the year I have no time to think.…

    As stated before in our first lecture, dance is a living and fleeting art form. I believe that dance is a living art form because it is a three-dimensional picture to art. What I mean by this is that, art is normally seen on walls or as sculptures, but dance is an amazing opportunity to view art while in movement. If you are anything like me, when I look at a painting of two people or many, I always wonder what it would be like to see them actually dancing, singing, or even laughing. By watching dance, it is my living art form.…
