One of the girls got several of us ladies beautiful fans in our favorite colors...they definitely come in handy after dancing for a few hours! Some of the boys even swallowed their pride for a few minutes and borrowed them when it got too hot...=P
This time, I have a video of one of my favorite dances to share with ya'll! This is the "Glass Slipper Waltz" that we discovered went perfectly with the song "La Valse de L'Amour" from the new Cinderella movie!!! It took us almost a year to learn it, but I do believe this was our best attempt yet, despite the music cutting off suddenly, me tripping on my dress a few times, and a few people forgetting which direction was clockwise...
Despite the serious expressions on our faces, we were all having a blast ;)
Everyone had a lovely time, and we were even able to sneak in a few encore dances before the night was over ;). It always makes me happy when I look at everyone who attends our balls...old and young, everyone has big smiles on their faces and those who don't know the steps to the dances are assisted by those who do. Everyone behaves like ladies and gentlemen; before and after each dance, the gentlemen bow and the ladies curtsy to each other, and afterwards the gentlemen escort their partners off the floor and thank them for the dance. No lady is left out; the gentlemen always make sure every girl attending gets to dance, and a few of them know which ones are our favorites, so they make sure we have a partner for those dances. It's like being transported back in time to a different age, where courtesy was a common sight and respect was mutual between everyone. I love dancing so much, and when it's in such a Catholic environment, with such lovely people, I find there's almost nothing else I'd rather be doing =).
