Dances Evoke Energy The 1988-89 Dana Hills dance scene began with a scream. Hosted by KROQ ' s own world renowned Richard Blade, students jammed to the roq of the ' 90 ' s at the first dance of the year. As usual, the whole mall reverberated with the pulsating beats of such artists as Salt ' N ' Peppa, Guns ' N ' Roses, Tiffany, and the ever-popular New Order and Depeche Mode. The aura of the first dance set the pace for all of the following. Enthusiasm swelled throughout the beginning of the evening until the dancers tired and eventually sat one song out or found relaxation in a dance partner coupled with a slow song. As each dance drew to a close, an exhausted group of students decided to go home to get a decent night ' s sleep or find something social to do with a bunch of friends, -v.y. 1. Sarah Boyce and Connie Cavanaugh take a break from the dance floor to have a word with KlfOQ ' s Ulchard Blade. 2. Although both are clearly exhausted, Heather Keenan and Kendall Argast continue dancing until the last note plays. 3. Slow songs are a welcome relief during fast-paced action for Kristin Bye and Chris Delfs. 4. A sweaty circle of Juniors and seniors commands the dance floor. 5. The body heat and complete exhaustion Is almost too much lor Melissa Maccarone. 6. Donald Sutorlous, Briana O ' Dowd, Roger Goedecke, and DIna Boss are amped for an exciting night.
