Social Dance
A decision on whether social dance will be able to be held will be made later in the school year. An email communication will be sent to parents regarding this matter. Thank you for your understanding.
Social Dance is a long-standing tradition at WJHS for 7th graders. It is a professionally taught traditional dance instruction class. Students will learn dance etiquette, traditional types of dance such as the FoxTrot, Waltz, Cha Cha, etc and the accompanying social graces/etiquette.
For PTA events, please use the guidelines below during the planning and execution phases.
