There is has been buzz around the school about the upcoming Valentine’s day dance coming soon. Freshman are anxious and wondering what their first experience will be like while higher grades are wondering what it will be like compared to previous years. Organized by the Student Activities Committee, (SAC) it will be held at the Germanic-American Institute “Haus” the same venue as last year’s dance. Normally, the event has a new location every year, but the SAC decided not to change it again this year.
“Really, it is just wherever the president (of SAC) thinks the dance should be.” Senior and co-president of SAC Alexis Bottern says.
“Last year we researched a bunch of different places, and Maddie Flom-staab brought up this one. It fit all of the guidelines, it was cheap, close enough to the school, and we could rent it out.” she explained. “We got a lot of positive feedback last year so we just thought it would be more convenient to keep this one instead of finding a new one.”
The dance will take place on Feb. 6 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at 301 Summit Ave. St. Paul. The final entry time is 9:00. Tickets are $25 and are required to get into the dance; they will be on sale in front of the cafeteria the first week of February. Students should arrive with semi-formal attire.
“It is a semi-formal dance. Homecoming is casual, prom is formal, and this is just somewhere in between,” Bottern describes.
“You don’t need a date or anything. It is really just a fun time for socializing outside of school. Go with a date, by yourself, with a group or whatever.” Bottern said, “It is a great space to mingle and it’s really fun to see everyone dressed up.”
There will be snacks like cookies and chips, and the pizza will come at 9:30.
“I’m excited for the dance to have fun with my friends,” sophomore Eli Striker said.
The SAC appreciates any positive or negative feedback, you can also email [email protected] with thoughts for the next dance. Check out the Rubicon’s Instagram, or check out our archives for more information about the dance.
