The theme for cotillion this month was Disco..and oh what a riot.
Trying to get a spin down...wait is it called a spin?
GOT it...woo hoo!
So at each cotillion they have a "refreshment dance". All of the girls sit on one side of the room and the boys are encouraged to choose a partner. They select a girl and dance until one of the hosts excuse them to go to the refreshment table. The girls are instructed to get 2 napkins and 2 cookies and the boys get 2 drinks. Then they walk together to sit down and are encouraged to visit.
There is a boy who J knows pretty well from youth activities. His name is Jimmie, he is adorable and they are friends. Well when they announced the boys could select a partner for the refreshment dance Jimmy RAN across the auditorium to get to J first, it was ADORABLE and I totally wish I caught it on video.
"refreshment dance"
Walking to their seats...I know y'all are impressed with my stealth like video skills. I was sitting VERY casually with my camera resting on my knee...I am awesome like that!
The Hustle...kinda.
The ChaCha...kinda. Its either this one or the next that a girl ends up being her partner (that whole more girls than boys thing) half way through and J cracks up dancing with her...pretty funny!
The Convo on the ride home:
J: Did you see Jimmy practically run to ask me to dance?
Me: Yeah I sure did!
J: Do you think he did that because Sammy and I are friends and she wasn't there so he asked me?
Me: No, I think he did that because you are a cute, fun girl and he wanted to dance with you.
J: So, he wanted to get to me before someone else asked me to dance?
Me: Oh, yes...totally. Don't you think?
J: Yes, I do think so.
Me: me too, fun right?
J: (HUGE SMILE) Yeah, it feels good. I gotta call Grandma
Jordan immediately calls and Grandpa answers the phone...
J: Hi Grandpa, well it's official, I am the girl all the boys want to dance with!!!
OH my...all the giggly girly goodness. I love nights like these. I love that she shares them with us. I love Jordan. AND I love that she asks to see the video as soon as we get in the car...so cool!

That all looks like so much fun, she is a lucky girl!
Oh how FUN!! Looks like she had a great time! What great experience that is interacting with boys and them asking them to dance. And she getting all excited that he did ask her...very cute!
GIDDY!
so stinking CUTE!
how fun to have it all recorded casually.
WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE for video of me at the dance back in my heyday!
all i have are the fond memories in my minds eye.
lucky girl!
WHOOHOOO! Jimmie!
way to go big fella!
although i hate to burst bubbles but people do do the next best thing dance partnering. I SO DID THAT, if my 'boyfriend' wasn't there, i would dance with his friend which was the next best thing. he ended up in love with me, and took me to prom YEARS later. i wrote him as a missionary, dear johned him. and OH YEAH he was my stalker this year with the facebook unfriending drama, and blog stalking.
and all because he was the next best thing.
but maybe it's only girls are that mean. i was so mean.
That's too fun and so exciting for Jordan!
Impressive stealth skills!
I love that you share all this fun with us. And I'm totally impressed with Jordan, who is so cool to let her mom videotape her dance, which is something my kids would NEVER let me do. Way to go.
Awww! She's beautiful! I can see why all the boys would wanna dance with her!
That looks like such a fun time!
What an adorable ride home conversation too!
That is absolutely precious.... She looks great! What a fun story too!
It's so awesome that you took all that video! I swear that music was from when I used to go to dances a million years ago!
The conversation on the way home is priceless. Nothing better than a girl with good self esteem!
That is so cute! Thanks for sharing.
I would love it if my girls would have something like this to attend. At school in first grade they had a tea party that taught them to be little ladies and gentlemen. Fun times! :)
This post brings back so many awkward memories!
Looks like she had fun!
what a fantastic program
i wish that was around here
great camera action
That is so sweet. I am glad she is having fun dancing. Plus she has a fun person to dance with.
awe! how darn cute.. I like that way instead of everyone bumpin' and grindin' and burning my eye!
That is too adorable. I hope that if I have a girl (God willing) that she is totally awesome and fun like J. Seriously. You are one lucky Mama!
sooo fun! and so totally adorable!!
PS - stop by my blog, i'm having a great giveaway!!
How fun is that??
Cannot not get more than a few seconds worth of each video...darn it! I love what she tells her Grandpa!
I'm such a Mom. LOL I got all teary eyed when you told us what she told her grandparents. :) So sweet.
How cute. Thanks for taking video and sharing it with us. What a great thing that they have the dance night so often. I love it.
Mom
So cute! The one where they are walking to their seats totally cracked me up!
I swear you must be the only ward/stake in the country doing these things... Lucky you guys! I think more should do them. they seem wonderful! And fun!
Oh my goodness, how FUN! It cracks me up how tall some of those boys are--they must be at the age where boys have a massive growth spurt! Jordan is like, the coolest girl EVER.
