"Herstory of Dance" is the eighth episode of the fourth season of the NBC sitcom Community, which originally aired on April 4, 2013.
When Dean Pelton plans a Sadie Hawkins dance, Britta throws a Sophie B. Hawkins dance in protest. At the dance Abed goes on two dates, each set up by Annie and Shirley.
Dean Pelton (Jim Rash), dressed as a woman from a black & white TV serial, announces that there will be an old-fashioned sock hop held in the cafeteria, as a Sadie Hawkins dance — in other words, a distraction while the CDC confiscates the drinking fountains on the same day. Citing the dance as sexist, Britta (Gillian Jacobs) counter-announces that she will be holding a Sophie B. Hawkins dance. The rest of the study group try to correct her, pointing out that she may have meant Susan B. Anthony. Britta is adamant that she was correct the first time.
Abed (Danny Pudi) is trying to make an effort to branch out socially and to stop filtering everything through television. Annie (Alison Brie) asks if she can set him up with a date to go to the Dean's dance. Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) thinks she knows someone from church who is more suited to Abed. Both Shirley and Annie agree that they will introduce Abed to both their respective choices and let him decide who he ultimately goes to the dance with.
Britta is having trouble securing Sophie B. Hawkins' appearance at the dance and confides in Pierce (Chevy Chase) about the dilemma. Jeff (Joel McHale) finds Britta's Craigslist advertisement asking for Sophie B. Hawkins, or an impersonator, and gloats, eager to see Britta fail at another task.
