During the 2012-2013 school year a group of students protested our
new dance policy by hosting their own free for all dances. The students
call these "Balz dances".
Unfortunately, the popularity of these
events caused our student council to lose several thousand dollars at last
year's winter formal dance. Needless-to-say, our student council was
surprised that the student body opted to attend the more dangerous and entirely
inappropriate balz dance.
For this year, we simply did not anticipate the
student body's renewed interest in our dances, and we feel terrible that some
students will not be able to attend. That being said, we clearly
advertised the limited availability by making school wide announcements,
placing posters around school, and making announcements on-line.
Looking
ahead, We're supporting a Sadie's Hawkins dance with our National Honors
Society in early November, and we're excited about providing a fun opportunity
at winter formal.
Thank you for voicing your concern. We are
absolutely thrilled that so many Southwest students are interested in gathering
for a fun evening of appropriate dancing.
