On December 10, DECA hosted a “Beauty and the Beast” themed dance. This dance was held in place of their annual Halloween dance, which was cancelled because of the power outage.

Unfortunately for DECA, there was a low turnout.

“30 people went,” said freshman Marissa Dilworth. “It was awkward but we made it fun.”

Michelle Porras, also a freshmen, said even though there wasn’t a ton of people, it was still fun if close friends went as well.

“I thought it was kinda fun since it was most of my friends,” said Porras. “But it would have been better with more people.”

With the no grinding rule drama leading up to the dance, students said they believed that was the cause of the low turnout. Students said they showed their dislike in the rule once again, by not going to the dance. If students continue to not attend dances, they say it really only hurts the school.

“Less and less people are going to the dances,” said Dilworth.

More students agreed, saying the rule was the reason they did not attend. With the results from the last dance, students are left wondering what will happen if the dances continue to get low numbers of attendees.
