Oni Kitsune · « **on:** May 19, 2012, 07:45:21 pm »

Hi everyone, this is Fox your live programming manager for this year.

So after much discussion and agreement it has been decided that we will in fact be holding the Kumoricon ball once more! This will be a semi formal event so you will need to be in either a cosplay or a nice outfit. No jeans, no tee shirts, etc. I will be posting a more detailed dress code on here as soon as we have all the details hammered out once more.

But I need some help!

Although the ball will be ultimately hosted by us, I need some friendly, fun loving cosplayers to act as hosts at the ball. Your main concern will be in helping us to encourage other attendees to kick up their heels and enjoy the dance. Also if you know how to properly ballroom style dance and are interested in helping others learn, please drop me a message either here or in pm, that way maybe we can work out possibly holding a panel prior to the dance for those interested in learning.

Thank you so much, and I hope to hear from all of you wonderful attendees that are interested in this soon!

The ouran cosplayers had put in a request to 'host' the ball this year. I'll direct themhere.

hieis_girl1 · « **Reply #2 on:** May 20, 2012, 12:05:27 am »

I'd be up for helping out with the dance lessons. I know swing, basic waltz moves and a little west coast. Just let me know!

Oni Kitsune · « **Reply #3 on:** May 20, 2012, 11:03:24 am »

Well preferably ballroom style, so the waltz would be helpful. Let me see if anyone else is willing to bite on the idea. Thanks for showing interest!

Kumi4eva · « **Reply #4 on:** May 20, 2012, 10:56:28 pm »

Would love to join in, but I'd need dance lessons first!
I'll check into that, and if the other Ouran members will join in, it would sure be fun!

Kimiski · « **Reply #5 on:** May 23, 2012, 06:38:54 pm »

I'd offer to help, but I'd like to be one of the people just enjoying the ball this year. I do have a suggestion though, that if your hosts are just random cosplayers, and are not from one specific series, or even if they are, to have some sort of identifier as the official "go to to dance"/"official hosts"

Also, will masks be a requirement this time?

Pixie · « **Reply #6 on:** May 24, 2012, 06:26:38 pm »

This is definitely has my attention. I am planning on recycling a cosplay from last year, which includes a floor length evening gown, perfect for a ball! I was upset about the ball's absence last year (I had an EVENING GOWN, come on!) so this is very exiting news!

Oh, and how do I go about volunteering to host?

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #7 on:** May 24, 2012, 08:46:33 pm »

Ooooh this means I can wear my black lace dress and use it as my District 12 Opening Ceremonies dress like I did for the hunger games midnight showing. Mmm flame make up and body paint. This is gonna be awesome.

I'm glad, I'm a girly girl who likes having my nerdy Disney Princess moments.
I only know the Waltz box-step, but if someone teaches me I catch on quickly and wouldn't mind teaching others

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #9 on:** May 25, 2012, 12:10:34 pm »

i some time really think That Black butler cosplayers should host the ball o.o. i love ouran and stuff but be kinda cool to do that :p BUT AGIAN YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY -dance- The ball is a good think to those who can not go into the rave due to medical Resons I am so telling my friends

^^

Yuri the Hatter · « **Reply #10 on:** May 25, 2012, 12:11:22 pm »

I would think either Black butler or Ouran Highschool host club cosplayers should double as host for the ball. But I wouldn't mind being a host and dancing with people. I can learn to dance the different dances and catch on quickly.

Ouran has already hosted a ball once, back in 2010. I think Black Butler would be pretty cool.
Ciel, Sebastian, Alois, Clause; Lau and any dressed up Grim Reapers would be nice~

maydrock · « **Reply #14 on:** May 27, 2012, 01:49:15 pm »

ok so i have this victorian type custome and it comes with a
rapier sword its just for look it stays on my side its dull and
made from stage steel would that be ok to bring

p.s. %40/60 chance i can teach some pepole how to dance
i havent been to a ball or anything like this in a while so i need to practice first
the waltz i know is Viennese Waltz. hopefully its like riding a bike

Oni Kitsune · « **Reply #15 on:** May 27, 2012, 11:41:29 pm »

For heavens...

I am not going to choose a specific type of cosplay or group. I simply need a few cosplayers that are socially friendly enough to encourage people to have a good time. If the people I chose want to coordinate and make it a group, by all means, but the group will not be hosting it quite the same way the Ouran group did.

The dance is not a masquerade, only semi-formal.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #16 on:** May 27, 2012, 11:43:10 pm »

:O it still sounds fun !!! I m in ! you can soo count me in to help

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 28, 2012, 12:07:10 pm »

I can help some people with waltz and tango. But I'm not like super good. I've done both lead and following with waltz and following with tango.

Len-chan · « **Reply #18 on:** May 28, 2012, 12:19:24 pm »

Id love to learn

Yuri the Hatter · « **Reply #19 on:** May 28, 2012, 07:28:58 pm »

This will be fun to do tho and entertaining to have a ball. n.n and elegant ball

Kimiski · « **Reply #20 on:** May 28, 2012, 09:56:32 pm »

Hurray~ gives me an excuse to dust off those Prom/Snoball dresses.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #21 on:** May 29, 2012, 04:16:31 am »

Sweet deal! I'm looking forward to attending this!

Fachion-pari · « **Reply #22 on:** May 30, 2012, 12:03:18 am »

I'm interested in being a hostess. I have experience dancing the Waltz, Rumba, Tango and Foxtrot.
I don't currently have a "fancy" or semi formal cosplay yet, but I'm sure before the con I'll have an acceptable cosplay for the event. (:

hawk222 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 30, 2012, 02:33:09 pm »

I'll let my friend know about this. She's the kind who might be interested in hosting.

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #24 on:** June 06, 2012, 03:35:10 am »

OmG. FInally !
Depending on whats going on for me ..
I;ll try and make it !
not sure who i'll wear for it .. I could slap on my jack vessalius cosplay or maybe someone else

AmbiguousFeline · « **Reply #25 on:** June 18, 2012, 12:40:24 am »

The KumoriBall has been my best experience out of the many Anime Cons I've been to, and though I can't help out hosting it, I really hope it turns out great this year! I missed it a lot last year, and can't wait to attend again!

Haru Hanson · « **Reply #26 on:** June 18, 2012, 01:45:20 pm »

I would love to host! It sounds like lots of fun~ Although I'm not cosplaying from Ouran or Black Butler this year... And it also depends on the day and the time~ ^^

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #27 on:** June 18, 2012, 02:18:11 pm »

We are looking for any cosplayers to help out.. there is not a specific theme

It will be Sunday night, after the Cosplay Contest.

Depending on how much energy I have, what is the age limit (If there is one), if all the stars align, I'd love to be a part!

Oni Kitsune · « **Reply #30 on:** June 29, 2012, 08:23:26 am »

As far as age limit goes, the ball will probably be during curfew.

Why restrict the age like that?

Lady In Red · « **Reply #32 on:** June 29, 2012, 11:59:15 am »

Ohmygosh that'd be awful. Would it be held after 12? I was looking forward to going. Restricting age would not be a good idea by any means. I know that I would be sorely disappointed, and mildly upset. As would 11 of my other friends who are very much looking forward to the ball this year.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #33 on:** June 29, 2012, 12:29:30 pm »

yeah i disagree with the age thing.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #34 on:** June 29, 2012, 02:26:27 pm »

She said during curfew, meaning that minors can go in. (Though I personally would prefer the opposite, but it's not that big of a deal to me, so whatever works...).

Lady In Red · « **Reply #35 on:** June 30, 2012, 09:45:07 am »

Oh, thanks for clearing that up! : )
I"m just happy we'll have a ball this year!

Whoops, sorry I got confused like that. Sorry that minors bug you, but I hope everyone has a great time there this year - I'm so happy the KumoriBall is back!

DasBombadillo · « **Reply #38 on:** July 03, 2012, 05:09:03 pm »

Well, I took some ballroom dancing classes a few years ago and remember some of it if that helps. Might be a little peculiar if I tried to impart said knowledge to others whilst crossplaying, but meh..

Lady In Red · « **Reply #39 on:** July 03, 2012, 09:57:00 pm »

I have a question about admission? Is there like a ticket system or anything?
Just wondering.

TsunderePrussian · « **Reply #40 on:** July 03, 2012, 10:44:03 pm »

I would be willing to help out. c:
I can help teach people to dance and encourage others to dance.
I know a couple dances, such as the waltz, the quick step, and the foxtrot.
So I'd love to help out. c:
I do believe that I'll be as Jane Crocker (from Homestuck) in her Prospit Dreamer outfit; fancy version.

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #41 on:** July 04, 2012, 12:59:08 am »

SO i def' wanna go to this since ive missed them twice.
NOt sure what cosplay i want to wear.

Jamiche · « **Reply #42 on:** July 07, 2012, 01:41:08 am »

It would be before curfew, so all ages.

Sephiroth87 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 07, 2012, 02:48:49 am »

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #44 on:** July 07, 2012, 10:42:02 am »

Lol, sounds like a plan. We can show 'em all our wicked line dancing skills! Mwaaa haaa haa @_@

JRock · « **Reply #46 on:** July 22, 2012, 06:01:20 pm »

I'm really excited to have the ball back again this year, but I have some concerns about the dress code. It really wasn't enforced at all back in 2010. The staff just waved people through, and I remember seeing people walking in jeans and cat ears, and other clothing directly on the 'What not to wear' list. Will the staff do the same thing this year or will the dress code be more heavily enforced? Because it kind of sucks when people put effort into following the rules while others can get away with not doing so.

~~Also, I realize this should've been brought up during the rant and rave back then, but I wasn't able to stay late on day 3 and I didn't join the forum until last summer.~~

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #47 on:** July 23, 2012, 12:17:32 pm »

Being a ball, I think the dress code needs to be strictly enforced. Prom has a freaking dress code, and people follow that. So think of this as prom. Dress up nice and all formal like.

Oni Kitsune · « **Reply #48 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:37:11 pm »

I will be having the staff outside the doors more heavily enforcing the dress code this year, yes. I am sorry it was not run that way previously, but this year we will be trying our best to keep it from being a repeat.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #49 on:** July 24, 2012, 05:37:26 pm »

I agree with the dress code becuse it is a ball after all
