Dancers boot scoot in the ballroom

A combination of the RLA, Night of Country Swing, Ag club, Wild life Club and Intelligent Farm Bureau hosted “Boot Scootin’ in the Ballroom“  dance, from 8 to 11 p.m. Sunday in the Student Center  ballroom. The event involved students and members of the community swinging and dancing in the aura of country music. The event attracted around 100 people within the first hour of commencement. 

There was plenty of food, drinks and prizes that accompanied the dance. 

According to resident adviser, Alissa Sweely, 21, senior of Scottsbluff, the event was a success.

“As of right now we have 100 checked in, we have the NOCS in charge of all the music for tonight too,” Sweely said.

The students seemed pretty keen to attend the event. 

“I really like NOCS because it’s a way to get people that like the Western cowboy atmosphere together in one place. We all do our own thing, like, none of us dance the same way and I like the way that kind of shows how we all do it different. There is no right way or wrong way, everybody’s way is just how they do it. I like how that makes everyone fit together,” Caleb Smith, sophomore of Broken Bow said.

 Smith further said he did not have any favorite artist he was keen to listen to that night, but he stressed the likes of ‘Turnpike troubadours’.  

The event ended with the same burst of laughter and celebration.
