To the Editors:

Really, winter dance show? And for that matter, spring dance show? Why do these events always position themselves on the same days as some of the few annual events Bowdoin College can actually call highlights?

The winter dance show is just before the Junior/Senior Ball, and the spring show is the Saturday of Ivies. I know the end of the semester is a tough time to navigate, but it seems like the event is setting itself up for a small crowd, or a mean game of "which of my friends actually love me?" by the dancers.

I know the Orient wrote an editorial last year, pleading for people to attend the spring dance show, and to hold off on Ivies debauchery for a few hours; for all the hard work these performers and stagehands put into the production, I think it deserves a fighting chance.

Sincerely,
