Beginner 1 – Wednesday, August 27th 7- 9 PM
Beginner 2 – Monday, August 25th 8:30 – 10:00 PM
Intermediate – Wednesday, August 27th 9 – 10 PM

We’re very excited to announce our lesson schedule for the upcoming fall semester! We’ll now have four levels of dance: Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate and Advanced, as well as Salsa lessons.

 Beginner 1 lessons will be professionally taught lessons that focus on the very basics at the Newcomer/Bronze level. They’ll take place mostly on Wednesday evenings in Rangos, from 7 – 9 PM starting August 27th.

 Beginner 2 lessons will be student taught lessons that enhance what you’ve learned in Beginner 1 and will take place Monday evenings from 8:30 – 10:00 PM in Rangos 3 starting August 25th. 

 Intermediate Lessons will be professionally taught lessons from 9 – 10 PM (immediately following Beginner 1 lessons), mostly taking place on Wednesday evening in Rangos starting August 27th.

 Advanced lessons will be held in the UC Activities Room on Saturdays from 1 – 3 PM, with one hour of professionally taught lessons and one hour of student taught lessons, starting August 30th. 

We don’t yet have a salsa schedule yet; we plan on starting salsa lessons the week of September 7th. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll put you on the d-list for salsa lessons and you’ll get updated as soon as we fix a schedule for it.

2) Lesson pricing

Lesson pricing for this semester is described in the chart below:  
	                 students	        non-students
Beginner 1 & 2	$25 for one semester/summer	$35 for one semester/summer
Intermediate	$35 for one semester/summer	$45 for one semester/summer
Advanced	$45 for one semester/summer	$55 for one semester/summer
Salsa	$3 per lesson for members, $5 for non-members

Each lesson price gives you that row and all the rows above it. (Ex: If you pay for Intermediate, you may attend any Beginner 1 or 2 lessons for free.) Remember, paying for any of the levels gives you club membership.

3) Late Nights & Social Dances
We’ll be having our Late Night on Saturday, September 6th from 9 PM – 1 AM with an American Tango lesson from 9 – 10 PM. We’ll also be having speed dancing workshops throughout the night, where experienced club members will teach you the basics to a dance in under twenty minutes so you can jump straight onto the dance floor. 

We’ll also be throwing a social dance in Rangos on Friday, September 12th from 6 – 11 PM. This social dance will feature live music with a live swing band, 5 Guys Named Moe.

4) Free Hustle Lesson & Pittsburgh Connections Fair
On Saturday, August 23rd, we’ll be kicking off the semester with a free hustle lesson from 2 – 3:30 PM in Rangos. Come by and start off your semester with us!

We’ll also be tabling at the Pittsburgh Connections Fair on Friday, August 22nd from 1 – 3 PM on CFA lawn where we’ll be handing out fliers and lesson schedules. We’d love to see you there, so if you have some time, drop by!
