I think the ideal aspect ratio is the golden mean - about 1.6 : 1. Of your choices, though, I would go with the longer, narrower floor. Width is...
The additional caveat ends up making things arbitrary again. If you're going to limit the age difference, at least use the "half N plus 14" rule....
I liked the system the Classique used to use. 35+ was "Adult", 22+ was "Young adult".
This just replaces an optimum age difference of 0 with an optimum age difference of 5 years. I suppose it might be slightly fairer if the average age...
If you normally wear a 3" heel, you might want to consider the higher heel for dancing as well, as it will be closer to what you're used to walking...

We were not using YCN points, which didn't exist yet anyway. We simply said that if you had won a competition at a given level including a given...
Just to clarify, I am definitely not saying to emulate the MIT competition as it is today. The MIT competition is now a very well established...
I'll just put in a vote against the cheap polyester blend towels that are given away at some competitions. It's a nice thought, but I prefer my own...
One suggestion: for your first year, concentrate on being nice to the newbies and lower levels. They are the ones who will have the most...
For me it is that the tango walk is staccato, and the waltz step is flighted. You can stop at the end of any walking step, wait, and then...
I don't know about Scrivener, but I've known a few people that reached the same conclusion independently, and they all did it for the same reason:...

Separate names with a comma.
