I need some advice! My first dance is coming up, and I’m not sure what it’s going to be like! I heard that people are bringing dates, but apparently the dance is right after school. What’s with that? So I guess no one is dressing up but still, I’m sooo confused! Does anybody have any tips on dances, in general?’

Your first dance! I am super excited for you, little lady! I know what you mean when you say you aren’t sure what to expect! I remember my first dance, I was being a drama queen all week! I didn’t know what to wear, how to do my hair, who to go with or even how to dance! But no worries, I’m here to help!

You should casually try to find out the specifics of the dance coming up. Ask your friends at school what time they’ll be at the dance to find out when it starts. Ask them what they’re wearing and if they’ll be going home first or not. That way, you can get the scoop on how others are dealing with the dance at your school!

If people are bringing dates, I’m assuming the dress code might be a little fancier than normal. If so, try a simple black dress and some cute heels! Put your hair up in an elegant bun, low ponytail or add some curls for flavor. If the dance is more casual, go with a cute pair of jeans, heels if you dare or some cute flats, and a dressy top!

What to do at the dance is next! If you can’t dance, think again! Relax your body and don’t think too hard about what you will do. Move with the music and make sure you have FUN! Maybe you can catch your crush for a dance with your awesome moves!
