Wes and I had so much fun hanging out for a little while at the dance.  Of course I enjoyed seeing all of the dresses!!  We observed a few things about the dances at Sky View versus our own high school dance experiences.
1. We love that the dances are always at the school.  Always, even for Prom. It keeps the costs down, keeps the kids in a close and safe environment, and gives them even more pride in their school.
2. The decorations looked fantastic!  They went all out.  It didn't even resemble a school gym in there.  Great job, Liz and company!!
3. The kids all dance!  There were a few kids out in the lobby area, but the majority of the kids were in the gym and they were ALL dancing!  It was so cool to watch them.  They were obviously having a blast!
4. The variety of clothing was amazing.  I didn't even know there were so many styles of tuxes.  Every color and style of dress was represented, and mostly modest.  All kinds of shoes, a lot of retro stuff.  Pretty much, whatever your style, anything goes.  How great is that?
5. At Sky View, you can only be in a dance royalty one time, which I love because it gives more kids an opportunity.  When they got ready to announce the royalty, they had all the kids stand in two rows across the gym floor facing each other and holding up their hands to form an arch.  As they announced the names, the Attendants, King and Queen ran all the way through the arch up to the platform and everyone cheered for them.  So much fun!  The royalty and everyone else danced to the theme song which was Enchanted by Taylor Swift.  Then they took professional pictures of the group.  I thought it was weird that they had this huge green background until Kori told me that it's actually a green screen!  Ah, duh.  It will be interesting to see what they do with the final photo.  Here are the rest of the pics I got.

Thanks Kori for letting us come down to the dance and hang out.  It was fun to be there with the other parents, and we're so excited that you got to be a Prom Princess!  Okay one more.  Sorry, indulge me.  Wes made me pose for this shot because he knows I secretly want to be a Prom Mom!!  Ha ha!
