Dancing the night away with a significant other is the idea behind the Sweetheart Dance being held Feb. 12.

After a three year hiatus, the Senior Class decided to revive the tradition of a Sadie Hawkins style dance, which makes the dance girl’s choice.

“The officers truly wanted to have [the dance]. They worked all through the summer to bring back part of the past,” Senior Class sponsor Sarah Kittrell said.

They also revived it to give underclassmen the opportunity to attend another dance  during the school year.

“[The dance is Sadie Hawkins] because it gives the girls options and it makes the girls feel what the boys feel when they ask us,” Kittrell said.

Girls come up with creative ideas such as incorporating inside jokes from the couple’s relationship or utilizing the help of their club or team members to execute the idea.

“I made signs that said “Hank, Sweetheart Dance with me?” and then the stunts went up. Instead of the cheerleaders holding the  BHS signs [they were holding the signs  I made and], I was standing at the end holding the last sign,”  freshman Madison Nagle said.

Senior Emily Oswald created a plan to ask senior Jefferson Guetzloe; she spelled out “Sweetheart?” with candy hearts on his desk.

“[I felt] happy and excited. [Having a Sadie Hawkins] is a fun way to mix things up. It’s interesting to change roles,” Guetzloe said.

The dance is being held at the Orlando Museum of Art located on 2416 North Mills Avenue.

“We wanted [something nicer]; we didn’t want a community center. [It] becomes dressier and more special,” Kittrell said.

Attire for the dance is considered to be less formal than homecoming and formal enough as if one were going out to dinner.

The dress code is dressy casual, guys should wear casual khakis and a nice shirt. Girls should wear casual dresses. Senior class recommends church dresses.
