Matric Dance 2011 - "Paris at Night"

The Uplands College Matric dance took place on the evening of 23 September 2011. Just as everything seemed to be going smoothly, we were surprised by some unexpected showers.

There was a frenzy of anticipation in the air as the stars of the evening began to arrive and the onlookers were treated to a few hours of exquisitely dressed couples, interesting entrances and very talented Parisian dancers in front of the Eiffel Tower who gave the evening an extra glow.

The Matrics finally moved into the hall for the night they had been planning for and stressing over for months … some even for years! The hall was decorated in black, white and silver, with fairly light lighting up the “sky” to suit the ‘Paris at Night’ theme. Every last detail was thought of and the Eiffel Tower backdrop made the setting even more breathtaking and extravagant.

Overall it was truly a night of “unbelievable sights and indescribable feelings”. Most of all, it is a night not ever to be forgotten.
