When most people think of formal dances during their school years, nothing can top Prom. Ocean City High School is no exception.

The Dance Place is Ocean City’s biggest dance studio, and the biggest dance studio has one thing going for it. Loyalty. Moms of the graduating seniors in high school decided that this year would be something special for their girls. Many of these girls have been dancing at The Dance Place since the first grade, and some even before that. Despite the busyness of high school, these girls and mothers have dedicated a few hours each week to do what they love.
