Wood Hill’s first dance on Friday, Sept. 26, proved to be a major success! Students had a lot of fun dancing to their favorite songs, talking to their friends, and stuffing themselves with candy. Some songs that girls really liked included: “Shake it Off” by Taylor Swift, “Problem” by Ariana Grande, “This is How We Do” by Katy Perry, and “Neon Lights” by Demi Lovato.

The boys’ favorites were: “Turn Down For What” by DJ Snake and Lil Jon and “Animals” by Maroon 5. All around favorites were: “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea, and “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande.

About halfway through the dance a dance contest was declared. The song was “Happy” by
