Students at the dance enjoyed dressing up for a good cause.
The annual Boob-B dance is a time for students to unwind and socialize with peers. Sponsored by Cavs Against Cancer, the former Relay for Life, the dance is also a way to give back to society — the American Cancer Society, that is.
This dance sends all the proceeds to the cause.
Set up by Director of Resident Life, Susan Kramer, along with senior graphic design majors Rebecca Tees and Stacie Roller, the dance took place on Saturday, Oct. 24. This being the first time that Tees and Roller organized the event, the pair relied on communication with adviser Kramer, club members and facilities.
“We had to put a request in to facilities for speakers and tables.” Tees said.
“We got to use speakers on the ceiling which saved us room for dancing,” Roller said.
One student who attended the dance, junior exercise and science major, Darianny Gutierrez, said that she enjoyed the dance, but definitely thought improvements could be made.
“I would say that it was semi-fun,” Gutierrez said. “I just feel that Cabrini has a lot of things they can do to improve the dances at the school, compared to other schools. I would give it a 5. People did come dressed up, people brought the energy to have fun, but I just felt like it was disorganized.”
Junior psychology major, Travon Zimmer, had a different experience from Gutierrez. “On a scale of one through 10, I would have to say it was either a nine or a 10,” Zimmer said. “It was fun, everybody had a good time. People were dressed up with crazy costumes and it was a good time.”
One very vital piece to any dance is the DJ.
Danton Moyer, senior philosophy and political science double major, was picked by Roller and Tees.
“I thought he handled himself very well,” Zimmer said. “I gave him a couple of main requests. I thought he did his thing and he stuck with it.”
As far as classes that attended the dance, students say that they recognized a strong presence from the freshman class of 2019.
“I saw a good mix of everyone,” Zimmer said. “Freshman definitely stood out, but it was a good mix of all classes.”
“There was a lot of people that didn’t go here that came, I saw people who graduated and came back to the dance which was nice, because the dance is like an annual thing,” Roller and Tees said.
Gutierrez believes that she has found a trend with Cabrini dances.
“When freshmen come to the school they go to a lot of dances, but by the time you’re a senior, you stop going to them because you think it won’t be fun,” Gutierrez said.
Overall, Roller and Tees believe that the dance was successful.
“I would consider it a success,” Roller and Tees said. “There weren’t really any issues at all. At one point an issue was people getting on top of the stage, but public safety was all over it and got them off and Susan made sure that the DJ was good.”
Zimmer had similar thoughts.
“You can’t have everybody on the stage, but they ended up clearing it out which was cool,” Zimmer said.
Gutierrez also stated that the no bag policy was a turn-off for some.
“I felt safe. I always feel safe on this campus,” Gutierrez said. “I do feel that Cabrini has overdone its safety rules. Instead of just not allowing bags in the party, check them or make sure that they don’t have anything dangerous in them, that’s acceptable. It’s not fair to have no bags at all.”
