The Friday Night Dance is the most anticipated event of the year. Whether its moshing, actual dancing or even getting first years to dance, overall everyone has said they had so much fun every year.
We talked to Connor Shirley, here for his seventh and final year, and Brooke Martin, a first year, on their thoughts for the dance.
Connor said, “Ummm...I mean talking to [first year campers] makes things more awkward than actually dancing, which compels them to dance. Eventually.” Connor is apparently known for getting many of the first year’s to dance, and if they are resistant, telling them stories to encourage them to dance.
Brooke said, “ I’m sorta excited for the dance...don’t really know what’s going to happen, but I’m excited?” Then she giggled her Brooke Martin giggle. As a first year, some may get nervous, but fear not! Fun will be had. But be warned, if enough people aren’t dancing, the Dance will get cut-off. We have, however, heard rumors that if everyone has a blast and dances for a long time, the dance may be extended.
The Satori Dance is a place where everyone can dance because there’s no judgement and everyone is just having fun. People at Satori are family. There’s no doubt. Even if its for a week and you don’t know every single person, just know you have a group where you can dance, laugh, talk, cry, shout and be crazy, because Satori can be a part of your support system forever.
As an extra bonus, the DJ is amazing! Greg McGuire has been Satori’s DJ since way back when. Greg takes song requests, and plays them if he has them, but there always some classics that are played every year, including Summer Lovin from Grease, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show, 500 Miles by The Proclaimers and Purple Haze by Prince. So expect to dance to those songs, or you might regret it.
Satori comes to an end and everyone is sad its over,but the memories made will last throughout the year.The bonds, people, campus and classes will stay with you forever. And if you come back year after year, you might see how important Satori will become to you. It has become home. We’re your family (brothers and sisters). Don’t forget it and have fun at the dance!
