Q: This is as simple as just googling “Find hip-hop classes near me”.  If you’ve heard people talking about their hip-hop classes, bring it up to them and ask where they got their start. Once you’ve committed to going to a class, don’t slack off.  Will power must be exercised like any other muscle. It might help to reach out to the other members of your class.  This way, if you ever miss class or don’t feel like going, they will be there to support you. Just going to class won’t be enough to make you an extraordinary dancer. Build your confidence by practicing your moves over and over again in the mirror. If your classes only happen weekly, it’s totally possible to forget everything that happened in the previous week.  To prevent this, you should write down what you learned when you get home after class.  Throughout the week, look back at your notes and practice in the mirror. Share your new dancing skills with the world at large!  Even if it pushes you out of your comfort zone, the point of dancing is that it’s a fun shared activity.  Force yourself to show off everything you worked so hard for. Maybe your class ends in a performance.  This a good time to force you a little out of your comfort zone.  After your performance, don’t treat your learning process like it’s over, though! Keep going out and dancing.
A: Find a class near you. Attend class faithfully. Practice on your own. Bring your moves to the club.

Q: Most ammonia-free cleaning agents make use of a gentle or mild soap, like baby soap, water, and a disinfecting agent, like alcohol. These are the three main components that will make up your ammonia-free, tint safe cleaner. You should also use distilled water when mixing your cleaner, as it has been filtered of impurities, like calcium and lime, that could leave spots, streaks, or other buildup on your tint. These products can most likely be bought from the home goods or cleaning supply section of your local grocery store. All in all, you’ll need:  Baby soap (a generic brand is OK) Distilled water Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol (91% is preferred, but lower percentage is also OK) Spray bottle Take your empty spray bottle and rinse it to clean out any dust or residue from anything previously used in it. Then add 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle along with a few drops of your baby soap. Now you can fill up your spray bottle with distilled water, screw on the cap, and swirl the contents to ensure a thorough mix.  The alcohol in your cleaner, besides safely disinfecting the surface of your tint, will also help your cleaner to evaporate quickly and streak free. Alcohol also helps to dissolve grease and oils, like the kind that causes fingerprints, from the window. These ingredients have a relatively long shelf life and can be used to make large quantities of your ammonia-free cleaner. By making your own cleaner, you can save a significant amount of money while achieving the same results as you would with a store bought brand. You may want to allow areas of your tinting that are particularly dirty to soak in the cleaner for a while. Just spray a heavy mist where the tinting looks dirtiest and allow it to sit for about five minutes. Be careful with your cleaner around the edges of your tinting. Allowing your cleaner to sit on the edge can lead to it seeping under the tinting, which could cause peeling, bubbling, or a shorter life for it.  You should use a two microfiber cloth system when cleaning your windows. The first cloth you use, the cleaning cloth, will be used to scrub away and wipe grime, dust, grease, oil, and so on, from the window. You may need to rinse this cloth at some point in a bucket if it becomes too dirty. Continuing to wipe with a dirty rag can lead to you just spreading the dirtiness on your tinting around. The second cloth will dry any remaining moisture on the tinting after it is clean. You may have to allow your cleaner to soak into difficult stains. The protein of bug-splatter can make these especially difficult to remove. Spray a concentrated mist onto the difficult blemish until it looks thoroughly wet. Allow that to sit for about five minutes, then try to wipe the stain free. Repeat this process several times if the first attempt fails.  Protect the already clean parts of your car from drips by applying your cleaner in small to moderate amounts. Dampen your cleaning cloth and firmly wipe your tint. This will decrease the formation of drips and drops. You can also hold your drying towel at the ready when using your dampened cleaning cloth. This way, if any droplets drizzle toward the already cleaned body of your car, you can wipe them away. Look at your car windows from inside and check for missed spots. Some will be difficult to see up close. Take a few steps back, change your viewing angle, and find any spots you’ve missed on the outside or inside of your windows. When you see a spot on the inside, take your ammonia-free cleaner a spritz some of it onto your cleaning cloth to damp it. Wipe the spot firmly with your cleaning cloth and then dry and buff the tint with your drying cloth. When all the spots are gone from your windows, your job is done.
A: Gather your ingredients. Mix your tint safe cleaner. Apply your homemade cleaner liberally to tinted surfaces for cleaning. Check for and spot clean missed spots.

Q: Moon Festival decorations don’t need to be over the top, but the one thing you can’t do without are lanterns. Moon Festival lanterns are bright, festive, and often shaped like animals or interesting geometric designs, but you can make your own simple rectangular lanterns. Creating lanterns as a family in the days beforehand is a great way to foster the spirit of togetherness that this holiday is all about.  Making lanterns is an especially great activity for kids, who can design their own and carry it around on the night of the celebration! Start with 3 square balsa wood dowels that are 36 by 1⁄8 by 1⁄8 inches (91.44 × 0.32 × 0.32 cm). Use scissors to cut them into smaller pieces as follows:  4 lengths of 10 in (25 cm) 8 lengths of 5 in (13 cm) 2 lengths of 7 in (18 cm). Use electrical tape to attach the 5 in (13 cm) pieces together, creating 2 squares. These will be the top and bottom of the lantern. To make the base more stable, tape your two 7 in (18 cm) strips of wood in a cross in one of the squares. Use double-sided tape to attach a tealight (either a candle or electric) at the intersection of the cross. Tape the 10 in (25 cm) pieces vertically from each corner of the base to create the outer shell of the lantern. Then, tape on the top square. Spread out a 20 in × 20 in (51 cm × 51 cm) sheet of tissue paper and use a brush to coat it in a thin layer of glue. Wrap it around the lantern frame, then create a wire handle so you can carry it or hang it around your house. If you want to decorate your lantern with Chinese characters or drawings, do so before you paint the glue on the tissue paper. Repeat this process to make at least 5-6 lanterns. Place them around your house and outside to light up the night with a soft glow. You can also let kids carry them around, but be careful if you used candles. You may want to use electric tealights to make a few kid-friendly lanterns, and use candles in the ones that you plan to hang up out of their reach.
A:
Make lanterns to decorate and light up your home. Cut balsa wood towels into smaller lengths. Tape the pieces into squares to form the base and top. Attach the long wood pieces to make the sides. Decorate the outside with tissue paper. Hang your lanterns around your house for a festive, traditional look.
