It was the perfect night, that\u2019s for sure. A masquerade right out of the Phantom of the Opera<\/i>, filled with different faces, of all different shades and sizes, everywhere around you.<\/p>\n

Of course, unlike the wondrous musical, most Jaguars who attended this year\u2019s Homecoming dance didn\u2019t keep their masks on until midnight \u2013 nor did they participate in choreographed dance; instead, everybody enjoyed partying to Lorde and David Guetta, filling the air with laughter and joyous energy until it was time to go home.<\/p>\n

As each Jaguar entered the hospitable Miami Airport Hilton, and lined up to present their invitations, friends gathered in the reception hall to take snap chats, selfies and professional photos provided by MLEC\u2019s yearbook staff. Masks on, masks off, cute smiles, and silly face \u2013 those are the memories that\u2019ll mark November 15th<\/sup> Homecoming dance.<\/p>\n

That is, until there\u2019s a reminder of the dancing.<\/p>\n

After announcing the Homecoming court \u2013 for which Sebastian Aquino and Daniela Frissora won the title of Homecoming King and Queen, Adriel Martinez and Yennifer Dominguez won Prince and Princess, Aubrey Carr and Essence P. won Duke and Duchess, and Juanita Cardona won Lady \u2013 the real party started.<\/p>\n

Ballroom-dancing morphed into full blown dance music, and led by Mr. and Ms. MLEC, Myles and Imani Johnson, everyone who was anyone raced to show their moves on the dance floor. For hours, the DJ played hot hits like the \u201cRoyals Remix\u201d, and party favorites, \u201cThe Cupid Shuffle,\u201d until most girls could barely handle their heels, and boys, their ties.<\/p>\n

By the end of the night there had been salsa marathons, dance-offs, and slow dancing for couples. It\u2019d been a marvelous night, everyone had fun, and it was time to head for home (or the after parties).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
