DANCE OPEN HOUSE



DANCE OPEN HOUSE

In preparation for both prom and next year, the unofficial dance club is holding an officially sanctioned open house to encourage new dances to join them next year. Casey Patterson has taken on the responsibility of leading the event today, although there will regrettably be no "twerkshop."

It's taking place in the dance studio, where some chairs have been carried in for the audience. Before lessons begin, a number of the dancers give demonstrations of the skills and different styles. Afterwards, anyone who's interested can approach the experienced dancers for lessons or tips.

There's a particular focus on learning to dance for prom (gotta impress your date with some smooth moves!), which some of the dancers may be less enthusiastic about.

RULES
  • The demonstrations start at 2:00 PM, and lessons start at 2:45 PM.

  • Ms. Thrussell is on hand to oversee. If anyone gets rowdy or disrespectful, she'll show them the door.

  • If your dancer is offering help, post them to dance lessons saying so, or reply to threads of people asking for help! Either way, assume everyone got some pointers even if nobody threaded with you. We understand that everybody's busy!


» demonstrations: If your dancer wanted to perform a demonstration, they were given two to five minutes for it. The songs were queued up ahead of time, and must not contain any explicit lyrics.

» dance lessons: If your character is looking for or offering lessons, post here!

» socializing: If you'd like to do any other socializing during this event, it goes here. There are refreshments available in the form of sparkling apple juice and tea cookies. Very fancy!

Ok so Chris is gonna show up for this to learn to dance for prom ok

But that's gonna happen tomorrow Bc I haven't had internet for three days and I've already used thirty five percent of data for this month and we still have 23 days left and we're splitting data between four people

So I should have Internet back tomorrow and will totally be here for this ok

Chris appreciates that it's like a game of hot potato for his love. But yes ty can totally teach him how to dance. Chris is a good student but he's also probably an annoying student.

Sweaty Boy seeks Experienced Teacher for prom

I'm behind on my other threads and I don't have time to start another (it's been a super busy weekend and then I have work! Sorry!!) but would anyone like to say their character(s) helped Ennis learn how to dance at the workshop?

Topics he is looking to cover:
1) What do you do when the music's playing but you have nobody to dance with? How do you dance by yourself?
2) How are you supposed to ask people to dance?
3) How does everyone know all the moves to party songs like Crank That? What is The Charlie Brown in the Cha Cha Slide?
4) What do you do if your dance partner is a male? Where do you put your hands? Who leads?
5) How does you follow the other person's lead if you, yourself, do not know how to dance or what they're leading you into?
6) How are you supposed to dance to slow songs? Are you supposed to just rock back and forth until the song ends?
7) How do you dance to uptempo songs without sweating through your suit?
