<\/a>Snacks were available!<\/p><\/div>\n
Anime ballroom dances have been around in SoCal since the mid 00’s. I actually did help staff Anime Expo 2006<\/a>‘s ballroom dance when they were looking for ideas on to expand the dance. I’ve been involved with Anime Vegas’ ballroom dance in the early 2010’s. There is a need and want for formal anime themed dances and there is a community that wants to bring them back as things are slowly opening up.<\/p>\n Dance lessons were offered at the start of the ball<\/p><\/div>\n Shoujo and Shounen Ball required masks and vaccination to enter. The theme was based around shoujo and shounen anime; I dressed up in my Taishou era inspired witch’s outfit in between my cosplay and administrative duties at the dance. The nice thing about the dance is that attendees were given wrist bands if people were available to dance or just wanted to chill. There was a seating section where one can either relax and enjoy the vibes or be in the “Yes! Ask Me to Dance” section. Wallflowers and dancers welcomed!<\/p>\n Cha Cha real smooth<\/p><\/div>\n The music choices were mostly from anime and video games. We had tunes from Studio Ghibli, Ya Boi Kong Ming, Escaflowne, Card Captor Sakura, Inuyasha, and more.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
