Christmas Dance NBHS

Hello there.

First of all, Happy New Year to you, I hope that your festive season was wonderful! I still can't quite believe that its 2014 already, I was only just getting used to writing 2013 in the date. Hopefully, 2014 won't fly by as quickly!

I thought that for this post, I would share with you my last ever Christmas dance at my high school. Each year has a dance; some years share (3rd & 4th, and 5th & 6th) but the 1st and 2nd years have separate ones. At them, we do traditional Scottish ceilidh dancing, which gets better and better the further up the school you go! The Christmas dances are the highlight of year for a lot people (mainly the girls) because everyone gets to dress up, it's right before Christmas and New Year, and you get to see and talk and dance with the whole year, which is lovely as we only see each other all together when we are in school. 

Having a joint dance can get slightly chaotic (and very warm) as our school hall is not extremely big and there is always trouble fitting everyone in. However, it is so much more fun having two years as everyone can mingle and, mostly, we all get on very well. 

In 6th year, the dance is unforgettable! The whole year knows that this is going to be the last dance we will have in the school, all together, so during the dances, everyone seems to get so into it and give it everything they've got, which is amazing. The year is also so close by then, that you can have so much fun and dance with so many different people, instead of just sticking to your one group of friends. Despite all the fun you have, no sixth year can deny the sadness they feel during our final waltz. You look around the hall and see people, who you would never imagine, crying and hugging the person they are dancing with. I was lucky enough to have my final dance with my best friend, which was wonderful, and heartbreaking.

Overall, the night was incredible, and I think the whole year would (hopefully) agree with me!

 In sixth year, we are also allowed to help out at the younger years dances, which is nice to do as you get to see the progression of the ages, how they become more comfortable dancing with people as the years go on. It also makes you jealous as they still have more Christmas dances ahead of them, and, unfortunately, you don't!

Above is a photo of me and a few of my very close friends before we left to go the dance. It was amazing how stunning and grown up all of my friends looked, seeing as I've known all of them since they were about 12, or younger! Now, this isn't just a photo of me and these lovely girls, but it's actually more of the dresses as we all got our dresses from the same place, the online shop Jones + Jones. I've linked it as they have beautiful dresses, and it's definitely worth a look.

This will forever make me smile because they are all amazing!

I'm sorry that this post was not beauty related but I really wanted the internet to know about our Christmas dances, and how fab they are! I also wanted to post some pictures of my friends because they all looked very beautiful/handsome. I hope you all enjoyed reading this, because I certainly enjoyed writing it for you.

Have a good day.
