Good evening!<div><br></div><div>First of all, I apologize for any inconvenience caused by lesson cancellation tonight. We will resume our regular schedule on Wednesday, and hope to see you there! Secondly, there is very important information about two things in this e-mail: Shoes and Officer Elections. Please at least skim the e-mail to make sure you are not missing anything.</div><div><br></div><div>***SHOE ORDER***</div><div>Like every sport, ballroom dancing is done best with the right equipment. If you plan to be dancing for some time, we recommend (and if you plan to compete - request) that you purchase special ballroom shoes. They are generally pricey, but we use a vendor in China and get them for $30 a pair, which is a REALLY good deal. If you are interested in purchasing a pair (or two), check out our supplier <a href="http://www.wujiedanceshoes.com/" style="font-size: 10pt; ">http://www.wujiedanceshoes.com/</a> and <span style="font-size: 10pt; ">fill out the following form by SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 11:59PM: </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEk1elUwWnNpY1Bud2o2R3BLLUd1OWc6MQ#gid=0" style="font-size: 10pt; ">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEk1elUwWnNpY1Bud2o2R3BLLUd1OWc6MQ#gid=0</a> Also bring me (Tetyana) the $30 sometime before then. Unpaid shoes will NOT be ordered.</div><div><br></div><div>If you have never purchased dance shoes before, check out some general guidelines here: <a href="http://cmubdc.org/tips_advice.php#shoes" style="font-size: 10pt; ">http://cmubdc.org/tips_advice.php#shoes</a> The shoe website lists "standard" shoes as "modern" shoes, but that is the same thing. If you want to only purchase one pair for now, ladies should get a latin pair, and gentlemen should get a standard pair. It is also recommended that boys start out with simple black shoes (no white inserts, not shiny), and girls purchase tan/beige shoes (they match everything, and make your legs look longer!) Lastly, your dance shoe will usually be about 0.5-1 size smaller than your street shoes, because you want them to be snug, and they stretch out over time. If you are unsure of your size or have other questions, feel free to talk to someone with pretty shoes at lessons!</div><div><br></div><div>***OFFICER ELECTIONS***</div><div>We will be electing officers for the following year on Wednesday, February 22, at 9:30PM. If you have a CMUBDC membership, you are eligible to run for a position and/or vote! Even if you are not interested in a position, please come and leave some input on the future of the club! If you are interested in running for a position, please read the attached document carefully. It describes all the available positions, application process, and gives details on the election process. If you have any questions, let me know! The application form is also due on Sunday, February 19, at 11:59PM.</div><div><br></div><div>***SUMMARY***</div><div>Shoe order form and officer election application are due on Sunday, February 19, at 11:59PM!!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Tetyana</div><div><br></div> </div></body>
