Kiitos kaikille, kuka autaa ja järjestää! En osa kiittää tarpeeksi. Minun tanssi pari oli aivan mahtava, kiitos Joel! Sinä olit niin kärsivällinen, kun minä en ymmärtänyt. Joka tanssi tuntia oli hauska, ja minä tulen ikävä tanssista tunnista.
Mutta juu, oli upea päivä, ja en ikinä unohda! :D :D :D

I don't know any words in English, French, German or Finnish that can do the vanhojen tanssit justice. It was an outstandingly fantastic day that I will never forget.
We had three performances of our dances, two in the morning and one in the evening. Though things went wrong in each of them, the overall performance was always well done. The shows consisted of ten traditional dances from around the world, including the Virginia Reel, the Salty Dog Rag, and the Finnish Tango. After the ten formal dances we had our oma tanssi, which means "own dance", which we choreographed ourselves.
I had an amazing partner, who put up with all of my stunned looks and moments of confusion. He was so patient in explaining what we were doing, and I don't think he'll ever understand how much I appreciated it!
A video of our oma tanssi can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB7VdePznGA. Some of the choreography won't make sense to you if you don't speak Finnish, but I feel I really need to explain the second song. The song is called koirakaveri by Heikki Kulla, and the name translates to "dog friend" (but it sounds much catchier in Finnish). I admit that I don't understand most of the song, but the guy wrote the song for a girl, saying he's like her dog, or something to do with dogs... and that's why the boys are crawling around on the floor. It might have been my favorite part of the dance, just for the humiliated faces of the guys. You could just see them thinking "Saatanan perkele, täs on uus puku" which roughly translates to "rolling around on the floor is the best. I should do this more often."
You might also notice that the song after Sexy Back - around 5:25 - uses the 'n-word' very frequently, and that it is not bleeped out! That's something I've noticed about Finland; they don't cut out the swear words. They do it sometimes if the swearing is in Finnish, but I hear F-bombs on the radio all the time, and I even heard an uncensored version of Classico!
Sadly, there isn't really much more I can say about this day, unless you want a list of "awesome" synonyms, so here, have a bunch of pictures! Hope you enjoy 'em! (HINT: click on the pictures to enlarge them. They aren't the best quality, I know, but it would take years to upload the full-sized ones!)
