Hi again guys,<div><br></div><div>This email is about the Cotillion performance we're going to do for FAST's annual Winter Cotillion, to be held sometime in December (final date TBA).</div><div><br></div><div>So far, I have a pretty good list of volunteers to dance, but I'm aware that not everyone went to Tuesday's meeting. Therefore, I'm looking for more volunteers! :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you don't know, when a girl turns 18, in Filipino culture, they are given a <i>debut</i>, or coming-of-age celebration. This is usually a formal party, and one of the main programs of this party is the <i>cotillion performance.</i> Traditionally, it is a set of dances (usually ballroom) that are performed by the debutante (the girl turning 18), her escort, and a cotillion court of eight boys and eight girls. </div>
<div><br></div><div>See <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4142525599900935123&hl=en">this video</a> or <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1599767663013522533&hl=en">this video</a> for examples. (These are cotillions that I was a part of; the first link is from three years ago, and the second link is from four years ago.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>We will be doing a somewhat simplified version of this, with three dances - the Waltz, Samba, and Hustle. Search Google for examples of these.</div><div><br></div><div>If you are interested, please email me (see my signature) by this <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday, October 15, 2010.</b></span></div>
