→Valentine's Day contradance: N
The intermission of the Halloween Dance has always been special.
*'''2001,''' Bill Sacks '03 dropped fake paper money from the ceiling for dancers to scramble for, one of which was marked as a "winner", and traded in for a prize. Heather Brutz '02 performed a dance on stilts for the crowd.
*'''2003,''' Bill Sacks's old purple plastic sandbox was cleaned out after its long repose near the [[Forest Garden]] compost pile and filled with water for the first intermission bobbing for apples. This was followed by the first intermission mop the floor after bobbing so we don't break our necks.
*'''2004''''s intermission featured [[Halloween Contradance intermission 2004|an elaborate contest]], in which ten [[Odd Quad]]ders competed against ten non-Odds (including some Odds who joined them to even things up) competed in three apple events.
After the Halloween Dance, all dancers and friends are invited to sleep over at the [[Outing Club cabin]], where the spend the night singing largely from the folky songbook ''Rise Up Singing.''
===Valentine's Day contradance===
Scheduling made the February contradance arrive every year near Williams' [[Winter Carnival]] and Valentine's Day. The former was used in billing the February dance until 2003, when Jonathan decided to try his hand at adding a theme to a previously themeless dance. He chose [[Currier ballroom]] and enhanced that space's romantic ambiance with decorations. As a crowning touch, three dozen roses were saved as a surprise for the final waltz, and then placed in the teeth of the girl in each couple as they danced. This tradition continued for years after, though crappy funding from the [[Cosponsorship Fund]] required the substition of carnations in 2005.
