tips for navigating your way around prom
1. Take a moment when you first
arrive to get a read on the evening’s vibe.
Hang out at the door for a few minutes so you
can locate your friends, figure out where the
action is and see who else is still arriving.
2. Don’t stand near the wall
too long-remember, you didn’t come to prom
to be a wall magnet. Now is not the time to sit
back and quietly survey the situation. Get moving,
whether its asking your date to dance or introduce
yourself to someone else standing solo.
3. Let loose on the dance floor
and get into the groove one-on-one with your date
or with a group of friends. Don’t worry
if you feel that your dance moves aren’t
hitting the beat. Just get out there and have
fun! A genuine sense of fun is all it takes to
fit in and you’ll feel comfortable in no
time at all.
4. Request the tines you and your
pals love movin to! Music fuels the engine of
any party-so ask if you want to hear something
that will get you all jammin’ on the dance
floor!
5. Get a lasting image of your
big night out (your parent’s pics don’t
count!). Don’t be intimidated by those already
in line. Instead of slinking off into obscurity,
flash your brightest smile and try breaking the
ice with a comliment. “I love your dress!
Where’d you get it?”
6. Take some time at the refreshment
table to catch up with your buds. Plus, this is
the perfect place to linger If you and your date
run out of things to talk about. Punch up the
conversation by making jokes about the hors d’oeuvres
or talk with your friends about the fun you’re
having.
7. While in the bathroom, check
your hair and makeup for the millionth time and
get your friend’s opinion of your date.
But don’t get too glued to the mirror or
caught up in the gossip of the moment. You don’t
want to leave your dream date waiting too long!
8. Whether your date is your dream
guy or just a good friend, remember to occasionally
take a break together. Sit out and song and as
him, “So are you having fun?” Take
time to reconnect before you two get swept away
again.
9. Have fun!
