Prom night. An evening of glamour and magic for teenagers.
The girls are more than excited for this.
The night is awash with raging hormones and blushing adolescents.
These guys and girls in their lovely outfits are on their best behavior but behind those formalities are groups of friends who spent the entire day chatting with each other regarding the night’s many possibilities.
It’s funny because the whole purpose of prom night is to give young people a chance to learn social skills.
How to dress, walk, and talk, and act appropriately give way to hidden shenanigans.
This German school took it to the next level, bringing a dance suitable for the opera.
If the translation from Hungarian is accurate, the video description goes,
“Next up is the 12th grade Vienna circus, choreographed by Red One Dance School teacher, winner of several domestic and foreign hip-hop competitions, Daniel Krihenbaum! University of Physical Education Practicing Primary School and Gymnasium Prom 2017 TFGY TF Practice.”
Just wait until you see this dance.
So I’m guessing the page is in Hungarian but these boys and girls are German.
Ladies in white, gentlemen in black.
It’s got that feeling of class and timelessness for sure.
Even the music is enchanting. But what’s even more amazing is how Daniel got these teens to behave and listen.
That in itself is a skill overlooked by many. Teenagers.
The girls take the stage in a squatting position, allowing their dresses to fan out before rising together as the music starts.
They do two spins with their arms waving out. Like flowers unfolding.
You know how when the boys arrive, they pose together for group photos, exchanging high fives and whispering to each other how this girl looks so hot and that girl is looking?
They did all of that for sure but when the time came for this dance, all that swag suddenly got flushed down the drain.
Not all of them are smiling.
Maybe some got stuck with a random girl they don’t know. Or like.
But those smiling are obviously pleased with their lady.
This is very much the idea of prom, isn’t it? Young boys and girls breaking free and slowly removing the folds of adolescence.
It’s a lot of elegant spinning and swaying up until the partner dance.
There’s just something so special about seeing these kids dressed like characters from fairy tales while dancing as if from another era.
