[FAST] Winter Cotillion Dance Volunteers!

[Richard delos Reyes]

Hi again guys,

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).

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! :)

If you don't know, when a girl turns 18, in Filipino culture, they are given
a *debut*, or coming-of-age celebration. This is usually a formal party, and
one of the main programs of this party is the *cotillion performance.*
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.

See this video<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4142525599900935123&hl=en>
 or this video<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1599767663013522533&hl=en>
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.)

We will be doing a somewhat simplified version of this, with three dances -
the Waltz, Samba, and Hustle. Search Google for examples of these.

If you are interested, please email me (see my signature) by this *Friday,
October 15, 2010.*
