I just want to say that the B&W Ball this year was incredible. I know many people appreciated the organized dance lessons. Even for knowledgeable ballroomers, these classes were fun and enjoyable. A small suggestion, it would be nice if intermediate panels were offered (though private lessons did satisfy this) for larger groups.
I would complain that there wasn't enough room during traveling dances, but just thinking about that makes me smile. Rarely do I get the opportunity to dance on a huge dance floor like the Imperial Ballroom's and to see the dance floor completely covered in nerds dressed in crazy outfits having a good time doesn't bother me at all. I'm glad we had the opportunity to use the Imperial Ballroom and I'm also happy that we were able to fill it. I have no complaints about the space provided for the ball.
During the dance, I want to thank you guys for the water. It was nice and refreshing after an intense Salsa. The only suggestion I would have would be to have some sort of labeling device so that dancers could differentiate between their cups. I know a lot of people used anywhere from 3-5 glasses because they either lost their glass in a gathering of cups or someone else grabbed their glass by accident. Maybe if colored plastic cups were offered, or even just a large black sharpie so people can write their names, people would use less cups.
That's all I can say about the ball. I had an extraordinary time during the ball and have decided to come back next year because of the ball, so it better be just as great :P
I want to thank all the instructors for their hard work and support during the panels and the ball. Having the instructors there made the ball more formal and professional, which I greatly appreciate.
Thanks everyone for an awesome Black & White Ball and Fanime 2010!
