I am going to cosplay as Izumi...but I don't know how good a short wig will look on me...lol...so I am still debating...lol

I know I am not a slave (literally)  :P  lol..I am doing a He Is My Master cosplay for the BW ball...lol...so yes technically I would need a master...lol...it's a shame there is not many anime/manga characters who are "ethnic"...I guess I will bring the ethnicity and "curves" to the He is my master cosplayers..lol

which character are you going to cosplay as???  anna?, izumi, mitsuki, takami?, ......the crocodile * giving guesses (still love izumi the most XD......)

I'd like to see if the DJ can play "Yuria...eien ni" by Crystal King (The first ED of Hokuto no Ken) when the slow dancing part comes along.

if you can email it to [email protected] it might make it into the mix

Does it have to be Japanese? If not, then I'd like I Do (Cherish You) and You are my Everything by 98 Degrees.

Also, I wasn't at Fanime last year, so I was hoping (if you don't already teach it) that you could do lessons for the Tango. That's sounds like it would be fun to learn and dance to.

If you do teach that dance, then I believe a good song to go with it would be Objection by Shakira, Bailamos by Enrique Inglesias (actually, that song would probably go better with a different dance...), all I really know about the tango is that it's a 4 step dance, generally, so I'm just mentioning songs that have a 4 step beat to it. If I'm just talking nonsense, that works too. But these are three songs that I would like to hear at the ball.

I sent you an e-mail with the mp3 and song names/artists.

This is a classical ball, so no there probably won't be any hip hop music at the ball (for that type of music you're looking for the Fanime Rave Dance). 

There should be a class offered to learn the basic dance steps.  That was how I met my dance partner for the night last year.  The classes were very helpful too, even for someone like me who has two left feet (my partner was a much better dancer than me so that helped too :D )

[boots01]

the dress code should be up in the next week or so.  just putting the finishing touches on it.

Question on dress length! My sister's cosplay is a short dress, but it also has another piece of floor-length fabric covering the sides and back. Is it ok?

Also, am i right in that nice women's boots count as high heels?

[gackt_2003]

on the page it says this is on sunday at 7pm.
is that final?

[Shinsengumi]

I'll think about showing up it depends on my girlfriend if she wants to check it out.

[Miyu]

ok....I have read in different places about different facts about this Ball.
Could someone please tell me concrete info about the:
date
time (beginning to end)
location
rules?
thankx

[Rei-Rei]

Date: Sunday.
Time: I think around 7.. And I've heard it gone way past midnight but I'm not quite sure.
Location: I've heard it was at the convention center itself, or maybe the building infront of it, but I haven't seen it anywhere officially.
And the rules of the general convention apply to the Black And white ball. There's a dress code too.
Other than that... Yeah.
That's all I know about the ball.

Feel free to correct me.

[boots01]

the info about the ball is on the website under the events section.  i should have the lesson info up in the next coupple of days.

[L3sli3_Lov3s_Chu]

Just wondering... Is it MANDATORY that you go to the lessons? I'd love to attend but the lessons part sounds boring... =\

[Rei-Rei]

It's not Mandatory. You can still go to the ball without going to lessons.

[L3sli3_Lov3s_Chu]

Thanks so much!

Last year the ball was held on site. It was in a room on the Marriott side of the convention center.

As someone that doesn't know "classical" dances I'd recommend the lessons. I felt pretty lame when all these guys asked me to dance and most of them knew what they were doing and I was stumbling around.
