Dances
The school holds three dances every year. Homecoming is held at the city-owned Davenport River Center, a local convention center. Gala is held in the school cafeteria. Prom is held in the Starlight Ballroom on the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. Some school groups occasionally hold other less formal dances typically held in the cafeteria.

Famous quotes containing the word dances:
“Now we sing, and do tiny dances on the kitchen floor.
Our whole body is like a harbor at dawn;
We know that our master has left us for the day.”
—Robert Bly (b. 1926)
“Now I am light, now I fly, now I see myself beneath myself, now a god dances through me.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask,
on their mountain, gold-hunting, singing, in orgy,
it was a mask; when I wrote of the god,
fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song,
it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself.
...
No more masks! No more mythologies!”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
