School dances were once the training ground for teens to learn to interact with the opposite sex.

If Andrew Littlefield has his way, young people will be honing their social skills within his virtual nightclub, which features all the trappings of a trendy hotspot: dim lights, Jacuzzi and bouncers. Littlefield is the architect of The Lounge, an Internet nightclub that threw open its virtual doors late Sunday.

Future generations of young people may not have to worry about whether they've chosen the right clothes or haircut. Once logged in at pcdmusiclounge.com, club-goers choose a computer-generated character to represent themselves. They can put their own stamp on their character's appearance by choosing from fashionable hair and clothing styles. No need to be self conscious about looking awkward on the dance floor; Littlefield hired a choreographer who personally approved a range of moves so the alter egos of the Lounge's patrons are sure to look good while they boogie.
