Christine Zhao Senior Andrew Wang asks senior Rachel Lee to homecoming “with a K-Pop dance to the tune of “If You Do” by GOT7.
Me and one of the dancers [Jason Zou] were both into K-Pop, so we just thought this choreo was really cool, and I thought the title of the song, “If You Do,” would go well with our asking, so we started practicing [from] September for about a month. They would come over to my house and practice for an hour.

Her ribbon dance was inspired by the revered mythical creature and this year’s Chinese zodiac sign, the dragon. “My ribbon symbolized a dragon flying in the air. My outfit was [also] inspired by the dragon, the color was the same color as my ribbon, but on the shoulder there were some details like dragon scales,” Huang said. “I liked how there were a lot of people in the audience and it was just really fun to perform.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_0964-1-600x387.jpg)
