Delegate Dance: Go Back or All Whack?

By: Shriya Beesabathuni 

The delegate dance was an experience with drastically different perspectives in the minds of delegates vs the minds of the staff. During committee, many chairs and directors emphasized that the dance is the best, and most hype time of MUNUM. Delegates, on the other hand, were skeptical of the quality of the dance.

Starting off, the dance was very dry, like, drier than the Atacama desert, the driest desert on earth, with two people on the dance floor. Then, the dance started to pick up as more delegates moved to the dance floor. The dance got hype, and then slowed down, picked up, slowed down, and this pattern continued. Many issues arose during the dance, including the song choices: the selection shied away from a newer setlist, in favor of songs from the early 2000s. There was also limited space to dance as it was hosted in a banquet hall, on a dancefloor enclosed by tables.

In other areas, less intense activities such as Kahoot trivia, and a movie provided a quieter environment. These toned-down activities were with smaller groups. 

The dance overall guaranteed a fun time with fellow delegates, even if you were sitting in the corner with your delegation, or living it up in the mosh pit.
