Sadie Hawkins has been a tradition at DHS and with the help of student leadership the dance is made possible. Sadies is different from other dances because the purpose is for girls to ask the boys, instead of the norm for boys to pursue the girls. The dance creates an opportunity for girls to break the double standard of making the first move and can build up the confidence needed to begin some form of a relationship, whether it\u2019s romantic or not. <\/span><\/p>\n

The name \u201cSadie Hawkins\u201d comes from a comic strip originating in the 1930\u2019s when women who openly pursued making the first move was seen as offensive and head strong. The author Al Cap created the character Sadie who hasn\u2019t had luck in finding a man to marry and with each passing year her father doesn\u2019t want to be known as raising a spinster daughter. Instead of Sadie making her own choice her father rounded up the unmarried men in their town and declared the day as Sadie Hawkins Day. Society\u2019s ideals have shifted into a more progressive way of living and girls making the first move is not uncommon or seen as \u201cunlady like\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a main committee made up of three-five people who plan the logistics for decorations, tickets and set up for the dance on Feb. 15. Sophomore Tess Striebel is a contributing factor for advertising the event to make sure students are aware of the dance and to encourage people to attend. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a really fun way to bring the student body together in the winter time when we don\u2019t have as much going on,\u201d said Striebel. \u201cIt\u2019s fun for girls to officially be encouraged to ask guys for once, otherwise most girls would never go out of their comfort zone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The dance will be a kickoff to the new semester after the stress of exams have passed creating a time for students to unwind and enjoy themselves for a few hours. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9771,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1-news"],"yoast_head":"\nSadie Hawkins dance challenges double standards - UPDATE ONLINE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2020\/01\/breaking-the-double-standard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sadie Hawkins dance challenges double standards - UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2020\/01\/breaking-the-double-standard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DHSUpdate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-01-17T19:21:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-01-17T19:51:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Giselle16\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Giselle16\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/breaking-the-double-standard\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/breaking-the-double-standard\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Giselle16\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/49cf3401aa6610eda8a208ba7fbc6b4d\"},\"headline\":\"Sadie Hawkins dance challenges double standards\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-01-17T19:21:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-01-17T19:51:43+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/breaking-the-double-standard\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":346,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"NEWS\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/breaking-the-double-standard\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/breaking-the-double-standard\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/breaking-the-double-standard\\\/\",\"name\":\"Sadie Hawkins dance challenges double standards - UPDATE ONLINE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-01-17T19:21:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-01-17T19:51:43+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/breaking-the-double-standard\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/\",\"name\":\"UPDATE ONLINE\",\"description\":\"H.H.
