This is contrary to the usual custom of male students inviting females to school dances such as Prom in the spring and Homecoming in the fall.

Famous quotes containing the word dance:
“The banners flashing through the trees
Make their blood dance and chain their eyes;
That bugle-music on the breeze
Arrests them with a charm’d surprise.
Banner by turns and bugle woo:
Ye shy recluses, follow too!”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
