Arguably the weirdest dance in C-U history will be held by the Habitat of Humanity Club on Saturday, Jan. 28 in the commons of Urbana High School

The theme will be Soviets in Space.

Why, you may ask?

According to Ms. Koritz, a sponsor for Habitat Humanity, “It’s for fun, we don’t do anything weird….I was pushing people to be weird.”

Well if the plan was to be weird, the Habitat for Humanity Club is definitely striking gold with this one.

 

The abnormal activity doesn’t end with the name. This year the music for the formal will be supplied by students. Seniors, as well as varsity athletes, Jamin Carter and Mystical Suggs, will take on their DJ alter egos for this occasion; asking to be referred to as “Lil Wootie” and “Suggs da Finnessa.”

Carter stated that there will be a “different variety of music because not everyone likes the same music so we want to mix it up as much as possible.”

In the past, UHS has thrown a Vice Versa dance. It was an opportunity to encourage girls to ask boys to a social event. Yet, this year it seems they have decided to stray from this method,  which in theory may introduce a more gender inclusive environment for our students in the LGBTQ community.

So far, these tweaks to our average UHS dance formula have sparked a dialogue in the student body.

Hopefully this will translate to ticket sales, for the proceeds will be used to benefit the UHS Habitat for Humanities Club.

If you’re attending, see ya tomorrow night!
