Associated Student Body will host Mira Costa’s first Sadie Hawkins dance in recent history, combined with Casino Night, tonight from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the El Segundo Automobile Museum.
Unlike traditional school dances, girls must ask guys to accompany them to the Sadies dance, and couples are requested to come in matching costumes. Tickets are no longer on sale, but prices ranged from a single ticket for $14 for early purchase with an ASB sticker to couples tickets for $34 for later purchases with no ASB sticker.
“I believe that the potential success for Sadie Hawkins is high and that this event will be repeated in the future,” ASB President senior Kirk La said. “A lot of people requested that Winter Formal be a Sadie Hawkins dance, so ASB decided that we should plan a spring dance and have Sadie Hawkins to test the success.”
The theme of the dance is “what happens at Sadie’s,” which is a play on words to the phrase “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” related to the Casino Night aspect of the dance.
The dance will include an open dance floor, casino games and opportunities for students to take photos in the cars at the Automobile Museum.
“I’m expecting that the Sadie Hawkins dance is going to be very laid back and fun,” junior Anais Checa said. “I’m looking forward to having a good time with my friends and dancing.”
