Last night, the ladies of the Adrian College Dance Team performed their annual co-ed dance. The routine was performed at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. during the halftime show of both the men’s and women’s basketball games.
The dancers ask various boys around campus to participate in the dance every year, and the group choreographs a different themed routine. The dancers themselves are in charge of creating the theme and coordinating the dance moves.
Each dancer was escorted out onto the middle of the floor by their partner before the dance began.
This year the theme was Michael Bublé featuring music by the artist. The girls all wore plain black dresses and the boys wore jeans with a button-up shirt and a tie. Bublé’s featured songs were “Haven’t Met You Yet,” “Save the Last Dance for Me,” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
The ladies started the dance performing by themselves, and then the boys joined them for some swing dance moves complete with kicks and lifts. Then, the boys got to show off their moves, with some of the participants doing acrobatics. By the end, the crowd was cheering and clapping with enthusiasm.
ACDT will continue to perform throughout the semester and plans to continue the co-ed dance in years to come.
