Matric
Dance 2009
The
Uplands College Matric dance
took place on the evening of
23 September 2009. Just as everything
seemed to be going smoothly,
we were surprised by some unexpected
showers, causing feelings of
apprehension and frustration
among those in charge of organizing
the event. Before long, however,
our desperate prayers were answered
and we were able to breathe
a small sigh of relief.
There
was a frenzy of anticipation
in the air as the stars of the
evening began to arrive and
the onlookers were treated to
two hours of exquisitely dressed
couples, interesting entrances
and very talented fire dancers
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 an array of reds,
oranges, purples and yellows
to suit the ‘Arabian Nights’
theme. Every last detail was
thought of and the Arabian backdrop
made the setting even more breathtaking
and extravagant.
Entertainment
was provided by belly dancers
who delivered an enticing performance
and the Dance Committee whose
Eastern-inspired dance moves
were a real hit among the crowd.
Overall it was truly a night
of “unbelievable sights
and indescribable feelings”.
Most of all, it is a night not
ever to be forgotten.
