[nabs-l] prom

[Mary Fernandez]

Dear Winona and all!
this is a great thread! Winona, when is the prom? Do you have friends
and/or sisters or brothers who dance regularly? If so, dancing will
come fairly easy. If you like to listen to music, and have a good
sense of rhythm, dancing, specially prom type music will be simple.
Lots of proms play hiphop and r*B plus some older 90s and 80s music. A
good place to start is in your room, turn on some music and just start
 moving your body around thinking of the beat. Don't worry that you
think you look dumb, your in your room! Move your hips, throw your
hands up in the air. Once you feel more comfortable, maybe start
dancing with a friend or sibling, ask them what people are doing
nowadays. Is there a song out there right now with a specific dance? I
haven't listened to the radio in a while, but usually every year they
have some song with some silly dance, and learn it, so when it comes
on your know how it goes.
Also, a big part of prom is just feeling like you look great and
setting out to have fun. I went to prom with my best friend, who
happened to be a girl and had a great time. So, let me know about the
time line we are working with and I'll think about this some more.
Sincerely,
Mary Fernandez
