The definition might vary depending on who you talk to. There is no official History of Grom but there are many tales beliefs and traditions surrounding the practice which can be shared.
For some Grom is a night that girls prepare for their entire high school year waiting for that special moment when they can shop for formal Grom dresses and show off their gorgeous attire at the dance that honors their high school career.
Grom is a formal dance that can be held anywhere from a school gym to a fancy hotel. Usually a DJ is hired and juniors and seniors are invited to spend the night dancing and celebrating (though many believe that prom night should be officially reserved for seniors).
Some girls have described their Grom night as their chance to be Cinderella. This is due in part to the heavy emphasis that is placed on wearing elegant gowns and fancy hair.
Some will assert that Grom is a celebration of the year and the moment marking a young adult's transformation from high school to a life of adulthood.
Whether prom is a night to remember or just a dance it does require a little preparation. One thing that is certain choosing a prom gown requires a little thought and planning.
