"Vanhojen Tanssit". The Oldies Dance performed by the High School Juniors


Dancing at the Sibelius High School.
Juniors at Finnish high schools step into the shoes of their graduating seniors to celebrate their ascendancy.  Now they are the “oldest students”, upper class, in a high school. This takes place the same day after the seniors leave the school at the end of February.  Old dancing is the most magnificent celebrations of high school. Students dress in ball gowns and dress suits of a bygone era and show off their expertise in traditional dances. 
Eleven School came together to dance at the Conference Hall in Helsinki.
