We are happy to announce the 6th grade Social Dances for our 2023-24 school year.

 

The Social Dance is a time-honored EMS tradition that provides 6th graders an opportunity to learn traditional ballroom dancing while having a great time socializing with their peers. This 6-class program will be taught by Arthur Murray Dance School and provides students with a fresh, new approach to dance. Participating in a social setting allows students to learn traditional dances while having fun and possibly winning prizes with their friends!

White Gloves to be provided by the PTA
