Dances

 Night Zero at Anime Los Angeles has more to offer than just the right to pick up badges. For the 4th year in a row we have our Dance and Dessert!

Starting at 7:30 p.m. the hotel staff roll out tables of sweet and cold ice cream. There’s several flavors, usually vanilla, chocolate, chocolate chip, strawberry, an interesting flavor we never expect (really its random, though we call it; “green tea”), and a sorbet for the lactose intolerant. The cold confection is accompanied by bowls of chewy nuts and crushed cookies, goey topping like hot fudge and caramel, airy whipped cream and red cherries to top off your creation.

This is followed by a dance. DJ B3cks, will spin innovative tunes, old school, and post-anime pop. You can dance or you can chill. There will be piles of freshly uncrated bean bags for lounging and hanging out with friends new and old. And, for those who can give it up anytime you want, there will be a limited number of a special ribbon, to be passed out only on Night Zero! Once they’re gone none will remain.

 

 

Come over, and check out ALA Dance! Our Dances starts immediately after the last Main Event of the evening.

When all events and shopping close for the day, but your anime spirit
still soars, there is no better place to be than the entertainment of
Animé Los Angeles’ Dances! Come join the collective group of DJs as
they spin the latest and greatest in house, trance, mash-up, top 40,
hip-hop and more.  Who knows, you may find yourself injected with just
a bit or randomness yourself as you dance the night away with fellow
con-goers. Remember all cat girls, sword masters, magical girls,
ninjas, pirates, and even you, the crazy otaku, are welcome. Sorry,
for safety purposes, Gungans are not allowed to dance on the stage..

ALA Dances start immediately after the last Main Event of the evening.

Regency Dance – Sunday 4:30 – Marquis 1

by John Hertz

Of course we’ll have Regency dancing at Anime Los Angeles.
If you don’t know how, I’ll teach you.  Come in costume, or come as you are.

The English Regency period was about the year 1800. Napoleon ruled Europe, and world-class wise guy “Beau” Brummell ruled England — more or less. Right away you see the English had good priorities.

By 1811 there was a Prince Regent. History still can’t make up its mind about him. But he kept a full set of Jane Austen novels at his bedside. He must have had a sense of humor.

We fans delight in Georgette Heyer’s novels of Regency aristocrats. A dozen have been reprinted in 2008; try Faro’s Daughter or Regency Buck. Last year saw a reprint of Cotillion, with a wonderful ugly duckling — meaning Freddy Standen, not Kitty. Book dealer Marty Massoglia says Heyer is his best-selling author at cons. She kept a light touch and was a master of the telling detail.

If you read fanzines, you know I tried to explain in Mimosa;
