Standing Up
In the video, she said, “I was informed by more than one friend who stayed at the prom throughout the course of the evening that there was some truly dirty dancing, and that there were several couples making out and grinding on the dance floor, and yet out of a group of 500 people, only one person, (me) got thrown out for inappropriate dancing.” A different student by the name of Callie Hobbs had something to add about the situation. She said that Clare had been “grinding” on the dance floor, but on the whole she believed both parties could have dealt with the situation better.
Making A Point
Clare wished to make it clear what happened that night, she said, “When the lady kicked me out, they said the dads had complained about my dancing and that meant that they had to have been watching me.” Because Clare looked older than she was, he physique made her feel targeted. “This is a message to girls built like me, who can’t find jeans that fit!” Clare expressed, “The girls with long legs, who are forced to prove that their dresses fit the dress code, just because they have more leg showing than most girls.”
