Hello All,

In Finland our kids have a tradition of arranging ball room dancing when the third-graders stops coming to school in what we call gymnasium (second grade school?) and the second graders becomes "the oldest ones around".

  • the third graders starts preparing for their exams.

The students exercise for months before the actual dancing event (they did 16 different dances!) and spends "a million" on their dresses - and girls on their hair.

Here's my daughter doing a tango

After the official part of the show, relatives were allowed to join for two dances - here are my two teenagers Emilia & Benjamin

And the show ended up in a pile of konfetti
