Hi everyone,

Happy week of mid-semester! Here is the info for this week:

If you've already signed up for lessons, you'll receive another email from
me with the Zoom link and more info today. If you don't have an email with
the lesson links by 9AM the day of lessons, please let me know! I am bccing
a lot of people which seems to cause some email services to register it as
suspicious/spam. Please check your junk or spam folder, and if it's not
there, email me!

Finally, we'd love to hear any feedback you have on the lessons you've been
attending, so that we can make them a fun time for everyone. The feedback
form can be found here <https://forms.gle/aS3jNQ2PhJGf5LnJ8>.

(Collegiate Ballroom) Events
USA Dance has put together a few cool initiatives to keep the collegiate
ballroom scene thriving.

***Upcoming Event***
*Saturday, 10/24:*

*3:55 PM **Virtual Q&A - Cookies n' Pros*
Each year at the National Collegiate DanceSport Championships, there's
usually an AMA with the judging panel, affectionately called 'Cookies with
the Pros'. While they can't supply you with free cookies this time, they
are thrilled to host an AMA as part of their Dancing Universities program.
This year's all star cast includes heavy hitters like Giacomo Steccaglia,
Glenn Weiss, Sandra Fortuna, and Melissa Dexter. They'll also have some top
amateurs joining the panel this year - Alessandro Scalora, Igor Golovach,
and Sima Sadykhov. Whether you want to ask about the funniest moment on the
dance floor or their favorite flavor of ice cream, if you've got a burning
question they'll answer it. Submit your questions to ncdc at usadance.org!
They'll live-stream the answers on their public Facebook page (see below
blurb on Dancing Universities FB group) as part of their regular Saturday
Oct 24th programming!


*Dancing Universities Facebook Group*
This group is for all members of Collegiate Social and Competitive Ballroom
Dance Clubs. Each week they will host live lessons covering a variety of
topics and taught by teachers from all over the United States. The
recordings will be posted in the group and organized by level and style.
Click here <https://www.facebook.com/groups/2735756116713400> to join the
group.

They also have a Discord group for collegiate dancers all over the US to
interact with each other. Here is the link <https://discord.gg/PTqmjpJ> to
join.

If you want to get updates and information more often than these weekly
emails, join our CMU Ballroom Facebook group
