The office of student activities paired with the UPB on campus to host a night of nostalgia with a throwback skate party.
The event took place in the William’s Center multipurpose room on the Statesboro campus on February 23.
The students attending the event received snacks and glow necklaces for the party.
Couples showed up and used the event as a date night as they skated around holding hands.
Some attendees brought their own skates while others borrowed theirs from the event.
Friends helped each other skate around the room by holding hands and guiding each other.
Music filled the room and the dancing began!
New skaters had a hard time staying on their feet, but had help with from their friends.
There was laughter filling the room as friends fell and as they helped each other up.
Nostalgic music flooded the multipurpose room and announcers guided the skaters in three waves.
As the night went on, more experienced skaters began taking the floor and showing off their moves.
The room was lit up with colorful lights to match the mood of a retro skating rink.
Some skaters even began showing off some tricks, including cool spins.
New and experienced skaters danced around the rink to nostalgic songs.
The first wave of students started a conga line on skates!
Some experienced skaters stayed in the middle of the floor showing off their skills in the lights.
Some students brought their own skates and showed off by practicing and performing tricks.
One room in the William’s Center was used for checking in and out skates.
