The actual dance... and afterwards





























These pictures are from the actual dance part of the prom.  There weren’t that many students dancing, but the Americans were in full force so all was well.  We also made quite a stir at the after party.  Most of the students look forward to the after party the best – since the school leavers are all 18 and they can drink.  Totally random thought, but keep in mind that for this day, they have had several outfit changes, the rented wedding dresses (yes – real wedding dresses, no one here actually buys them – they’re all rented) the class dance outfit, the uniform for the ribbon ceremony and then a prom dress.  It was quite nice to see them all, but I can only imagine what it took to haul all those outfits to school for one day.  Anyhow- these are dance pictures.  One student asked me to dance which was quite embarrassing because this kid can waltz and I can’t even do the Roger Rabbit.  I tried to make it as not-awkward as possible, but of course Vivvi documented the entire weird situation on film.  I love that girl.
