spring dance

Vernal formal event

A spring dance is a formal or semi-formal social event held at schools during the spring season, typically for middle or high school students.

Unlike prom, which usually honors upperclassmen, spring dances are often open to broader grade levels: Are you going to the spring dance?

The term also applies to folk or traditional dances performed to celebrate the arrival of spring.
