Senior Dinner Dance
19th November
From my senior yearDoes anyone know of boarding high schools for dance?
18th November
My daughter is looking at boarding high schools for dance and we don’t really know of any. So if anyone knows of a school then please let us know!
These are the best-known boarding schools in the US that focus on ballet:
Harid Conservatory
Kirov Academy of Ballet
North Carolina School of the Arts
Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts
School of American Ballet
Virginia School of the Arts
There are 3 boarding schools in the US that focus on the arts, including dance:
Walnut Hill http://www.walnuthillarts.org/
Interlochen http://academy.interlochen.org/
Idyllwild arts http://www.idyllwildarts.org/academy/aca…
If you want a regular academic boarding school with a strong dance program, look at St. Pauls School and probably the Masters School. There are probably more in this category, but I don’t know of them all.
Good luck!

Product DetailsOriginal Title:Marilyn Hotchkiss’ Ballroom Dancing & Charm SchoolActors: Danny De Vito – Ernie Hudson – John Goodman – Marisa Tomei – Mary Steenburgen – Robert CarlyleCondition: NEWFormat: DVDDirector: Randall MillerRuntime: 104 minsLanguage: English Subtitle: English SubtitlesDiscs/Cassettes: 1Genre: DramaDescription: “Dance is a very powerful drug, if embraced judiciously; to reap its rewards, one must shoulder its challenges with intrepid countenance. Frank Keene, a grieving baker in a near catatonic state, happens on a car accident. The loquacious and insightful victim, Steve Mills, is on his way to an appointment in Pasadena with a years-ago acquaintance; he asks Frank to go in his place. It’s a dance class. Frank goes, to find Steve’s friend. The story moves back and forth among Steve’s childhood, the scene of the accident, and the aftermath of Frank’s first Lindy hop. Black eyes, group therapy, loneliness, boys being boys, roads not taken, and saying good-bye color the story.
Getting a Life–even if You’re Single
16th November
 ”I’m available, since I don’t have a life,” Cathy, my client told me when we were trying to schedule our next coaching session. When I probed further, it turned out that although she had a full time job, had occasional acting assignments, volunteered at a museum, was active with friends and her family-she still considered herself “life-less.” Translation: She had no man in her life.
As my fellow Baby Boomers will bear out, I learned at an early age that the right life for a woman was to finish school; become a teacher, nurse or secretary; get married; have kids; stay home and live happily ever after. That was certainly not the life I ended up with and yet some of those old cultural norms continued to haunt me. I’m now 62, it’s been twenty years since my last divorce and I acknowledge I may never find Mr. Right. For many years I hoped to find Prince Charming who would save me–and yes– complete me.  I have (finally) learned to dismiss three common myths.
1. Being single means I’m not enough. Have you ever thought, “If only I was prettier, thinner, younger etc., a man would love me.” Have you ever looked at someone and said, ”If she can get someone–I must be really awful?”  I realized I didn’t want just anyone–I had identified must haves for any future partner. I already have a good life and I’m not willing to risk my peaceful life just to have someone on my arm. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with you–perhaps too much is right with you–you want the right one and are willing to wait.
2. Being single means less fun. I dreaded going alone to company functions and weddings. I fantasized having this perfect partner who would have an in-depth conversation at dinner then dance up a storm when the music began.Through the years, I watched many couples spend most of their evening apart. Often the woman wanted to dance and the man didn’t. And after spending their days and nights together, each of them found others they hadn’t seen in awhile to converse with. In fact, I often talked longer to the husband than the wife did during the evening.
3. Being single limits your options. I can remember walking into a movie alone and was pleased when someone sat next to me so people wouldn’t think I was a loser. I’ve gone to dinner by myself pretending I’m on a business trip–so of course, it’s ok I’m alone.While I do prefer having someone along to share many experiences with me, if it’s something I really want to do–I’ll go alone. Besides movies and dinner, I have taken vacations by myself and attended concerts alone (I confess–my friends make fun of my taste in music).Who could have known that these previous solo adventures would give me the confidence to create my dream life-have my own business and move to a warmer climate. I remember that most people were amazed when I told them I was moving to North Carolina without knowing anyone. I’ve learned not to waste time waiting for someone or something before I can truly live.
The time to get a life is now. Find your passion and create a life that brings you joy and purpose. Â

What kind of dancing do you usually do at a high school dance?
15th November
What dancing do you do more slow or fast? What kinds of fast dancing are there? (Besides grinding.) What other dances do you do at a high school formal/dance? And if possible link me a video for different fast dances. Thanks.
I’m in high school and just recently had my first homecoming, it was a blast!
A usual high school dance consistes of:
-The first 20 minutes everyone is meeting up with their friends, complimenting everyone on their looks, music is playing but only a few people are dancing (a mere foot tap)
-The dancing: A lot of upbeat pop and hip hop songs are played, popular bands at the time are a must along with Lady GaGa, LMFAO, The Black Eyed Peas, Cha Cha Slide, You’re a Jerk (dances like those)
The main type of dancing will be jumping with your hands up, moving your body with the beat, grinding, singing alon with the songs with your friends, people being forced to dance by everyone around them, no one really cares how you dance (unless your doing something big and embarassing)
-There’s food spread out and tables with little party favors depending on the them. (i.e. zebra print glasses for a safari theme)
It’s much better than middle school dances so have fun!
