At no time were our full range of GenX adolescent emotions more keenly felt than the night of the middle school dance. It was a night of awkward crushes, questionable dance moves, and enough pre-teen angst to rival a Judy Blume novel. Join Carolyn, Kristin and Michelle as they share their most memorable middle school dance memories along with the songs that cemented those memories in our minds. Listen to learn who experienced the second best kiss of her entire life at a middle school dance and whose parents had the audacity to chaperone one. So hop into your DeLorean and time travel with the PCPS to the GenX Middle School Dance.

The NPR article by Linda Holmes that inspired the episode "1980s Middle School Slow Dance Songs' was the playlist I didn't know I needed."
