In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you came with a date, you will likely want to slow dance with them. If you don't have a date, someone else at the dance may ask you. Or, ask someone yourself. To decline a dance, politely say: "No, thank you." Be firm, howeverdon't say "maybe later," which might lead the person on or lead to an awkward situation later on if they ask you again. If the person you asked to dance says no, don't take it personally. There could be many reasons that have nothing to do with you that went into their answer. Consider asking someone else to dance instead, or even sway in a circle with a group of friends. Your partner should place their hands on your hips or wrap their arms around your lower back. You can think of this type of slow dancing as a sort of extended hug. Keep your feet planted and sway back and forth in time with the music. Traditionally, the woman puts her arms around the man's shoulders or neck, and the man puts his hands on the woman's hips or lower back. But feel free to shake things up, depending on what's most comfortable for you and your dance partner. Maintain a comfortable distance between you and your partner, to startroughly 1 foot (0.30m) is a good rule of thumb. Read their body language during the dance to decide if you should move closer. Put your right hand on your partner's hip or upper back. Use your left hand to take your partner's right hand and hold it up and to the side. Your elbow should be bent. This position is often held by the man, but don't feel tied to tradition. Your partner should put their left hand on your shoulder, and their right hand in yours. Interlace your fingers for a more intimate position. If you want to add a special touch to your slow dance, invite your partner to twirl. Take a step back, bringing your partner's left arm up in the air by raising your right arm. That gives them space to spin 360 degrees. Then return to your starting position and resume swaying to the beat. Especially if you're slow dancing with someone you have a crush on, your heart might start pounding or your hands might start sweating during a slow dance. Control your breathing by focusing on steadily inhaling and exhaling. This is a quick way to calm and slow your heartrate.
Summary: Find a partner when a slow song starts playing. Put your arms on your partner's shoulder or around their neck. Hold your partner's hand for a more traditional style of slow dance. Throw in a twirl to shake things up. Take deep breaths to stay relaxed.

Research shows that traditional treatments like applying cocoa butter, olive oil or gotu kola extract to your skin are largely ineffective, and that the best way to prevent stretch marks is to control your weight, especially during times of growth such as pregnancy and adolescence. During adolescence, it is normal for your body to grow rapidly. Follow a healthy diet and talk to your doctor about what kind of growth to expect.

Summary: Avoid rapid weight gain. Avoid rapid weight loss. Exercise regularly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most fabrics come in 45 inches (110cm) or 60 inches (150cm) widths. You may need to check the fabric you want to use to see what the width is before you calculate this measurement. Check with a store associate if you are unsure. If you are planning to use some scrap fabric for the binding, then measure across the shortest part of the fabric piece to find the width. Use the perimeter measurement plus the 10 inches (25cm) you added and divide this number by the total width of your binding fabric. For example, if the perimeter plus 10 inches (25cm) equals 190 inches (480cm) and the fabric width is 60 inches (150cm), then your result would be 3.2. This will tell you how many strips you need to cut from the fabric to get the required amount. However, you will need to round up your result if you do not get a whole number. For example, if your answer is 3.2, then round up to 4.
Summary:
Identify the fabric width. Divide the perimeter plus 10 inches (25cm) by the fabric width. Round up the result.
