winter dance
Cold-weather school event
A winter dance is a formal or semi-formal social event held at schools during the winter months, typically between homecoming in fall and prom in spring.
These dances go by various names—winter formal, Snowball, Sadie Hawkins—and usually feature dressy attire, decorations with seasonal themes, and music for dancing: Are you going to the winter dance this year?
