Fly me to the moon

Nearly 300 attendees stacked into Main Events for Anime USA’s first formal ball. With a 90-minute dance lesson beforehand, the Celestial Ball featured the waltz, foxtrot and rumba.

In a mashup of prom sequins and Japanese kimonos, con-goers swayed and danced to the sounds of classic anime songs such as Fly Me to the Moon from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Sore ga Ai deshou from Full Metal Panic Fumoffu!. Dance hosts, staff who were previously trained in ballroom dancing, were on hand to show dancers a few new moves.

The three-hour event was extremely successful, allowing attendees to get their first taste of ballroom dancing.
