Will the Student Council’s optimism for D.A.B. be met with terrific success or absolute failure? StuCo (save the vice president) waits with optimistic anticipation.
Dalat International School has looked down on dancing for too long! With an attempt to oust the taboo known as “dancing” at Christmas Banquet, the Student Council plans to encourage the student body to participate in the first ever choreographed dance and lip-syncing competition called D.A.B. (Dalat Air Band).
How would the Student Council convince the conservatives of Dalat to dress up and dance all silly? They’d dance in front of the entire high school to set an example, and they’d use money as an incentive.
With a cash prize of RM 200 (what!? StuCo giving out money?!) and a priceless trophy, StuCo dares to bribe the high school to a dance off. But that won’t be enough.
To show that anyone can dance just as “anyone can cook” (Ratatouille), the Student Council planned a dance to show at chapel on the 11th of November. Working on the dance for six hours, they danced until they bled. Woo Young Chung, with a toe bleeding, continued to urge his team to practice, saying “Come on guys, one more time.”
Thankfully, the blood and sweat paid off. Leaving the stage satisfied, the mesmerized crowd began talking about D.A.B. One from the audience, Mersades Zimmer, said, “They [StuCo] did well. Teddy will probably do it.” And Mr. Zimmer is not alone.
Others have formed groups, including an immediate sign up from dance-loving seniors. Even the staff has signed up, with Mr. Brewster allegedly dabbing!
StuCo wants to revamp Christmas Banquet. StuCo wants to rebel against the dancing taboo. StuCo wants to build a community. StuCo would even give out money for this change. But they can’t do anything without you.
As Keito Watanabe, Vice President of StuCo wishes, “We need more people DABBING, yea?”
