The term 'Spring Dance' can refer to two different events: a Maypole dance and a PROM. A Maypole dance is a traditional European folk dance that is performed around a tall pole decorated with ribbons and flowers. It is usually performed in the springtime as part of a celebration of the season. A PROM is a formal dance held by high schools or colleges, usually in the springtime. It is typically attended by students and their dates, and is often a memorable event for those who attend.
