舞會是大學時期的重要娛樂，僅次於麻將，這種社交活動不需要去夜店，就在自家客廳或宿舍的會客室舉辦... 舞會的名目很多，生日舞會最常見，此外還有迎新舞會、期中舞會，甚至還有 all pa 舞會或被退學的惜別舞會...
想到一首舞會經典 George Michael (WHAM)：Careless Whisper (1984)

一年一度的聖誕舞會是官方盛事，"東海人"的特權，校外人士百般巴結，想盡辦法要弄到入場卷... 夏季則是畢業舞會，校門口交通管制，火炬彩帶沿路開道，畢業生攜伴參加，長裙禮服領結西裝，校長開舞，大多邀請專業樂團伴奏...
民間舞會比較陽春，通常主辦者就是 DJ，同學各自提供音響卡帶，準備蠟燭飲料，有些還自製海報，男生分擔費用，女生免費...

回想起來，舞會值得記憶之處並不是音樂，畢竟自製的音響也好不到哪去，當然也沒有聲光效果，更不是某個舞伴，而是... 某種"陽春"年代，手工的娛樂，大夥聚在一起自得其樂。

畫了一整天，不知道為什麼，突然想到這件事...
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
*I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
