Episode Garters, Grinding & Gymnasiums
School dances were a rite of passage. We’re going back to the nights of getting ready with your friends, stressing over what to wear, figuring out who you were going with and walking into the gym with absolutely no idea how the night would unfold. From questionable dresses, corsages and garters to school dance photos, bathroom touch-ups and trying to work up the courage to ask someone to dance, we’re reliving the rituals that made these nights feel like the biggest events of the year. We’re talking crushes, promposals, slow dances, grinding, dance-floor drama, sneaking drinks, after parties and the songs that instantly transport us back, from Soulja Boy and “Baby Got Back” to “The Cha Cha Slide,” “Cotton Eye Joe” and the slow songs that could determine the entire trajectory of your night. Whether you went with a date, went with your friends or spent the whole night avoiding eye contact during the slow songs, this episode is a trip back to the era when one school dance could feel like the most important night of your life.
