Hi Ballroom friends,

A few notes on lessons:

Some people who signed up were having issues with getting the link. 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!

If you signed up for lessons after 8/30, you'll only get the links starting
next week.

Also, we'd really appreciate getting feedback on the lessons, so we can
make them more enjoyable for everyone! Please fill out this lessons
feedback form if you've attended lessons:
https://forms.gle/aS3jNQ2PhJGf5LnJ8

Let me know if you have any questions or issues!!

Best,
Marie Ivantechenko
CMU BDC Secretary

Join us for ballroom workouts! Expect: dancing, fun, new fancy moves, and
the most (or least important thing) actual exercise!

*In-person Meetups*

If you?re comfortable meeting up (socially distancing of course), we?d love
to hang out with you. Outdoor picnics, sunshine (or rain), and potentially
some dancing from 6 feet away awaits!

*Movie Nights*

Want a nice relaxing night? We?ll be showing a movie and hanging out
together.

*Game Nights*

Bored? Want to meet new people, or even your friends? Come by game night to
hangout and play some games together! *There will be one this Saturday from
8-9:30 PM. Click here

for Zoom link.*

*Lunch and Tea*

Like food? Like tea? Like human interactions? If you like at least one of
them, join us on Wednesdays!

*Board Game Night (Must have Tabletop Simulator) *

Want to play some intense board games? As long as you have a tabletop
simulator, join us in playing various games. You won?t be bored at our
board game night (Pun intended ;) ) .

*Pop-Up Hangouts in Discord*

Instead of randomly meeting on campus, we can randomly meet on Discord
(except not random). Meet new people, chat with friends, or talk about your
life at our pop-up hangouts! Keep an eye on official announcements to know
when they are!


*Bigger One-Off Events*
*Careers with Our Alumni *

Want to learn about what life after academics is really like? From what
their experience in industry is like, to how to even get that job; a small
panel of alumni from various fields will be joining us to answer all of
your questions!

*Makeover Night *

It?s take to dust off your tuxedos, dresses, makeup, hair products or
whatever else you need to give yourself a transformation! This night will
feature life tutorials on how to do fancy makeup and hair; time to online
shop and dream (or photoshop things on yourself), chatting with friends
while chilling and dressing up, and to end it all: a virtual fashion show.
Everyone is welcome! Come by since this will be a night to remember!

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.

??*Virtual Competition*??
As most of you know, CMU BDC is a competitive club. Beyond weekly lessons
and social dancing, we also have a very strong presence at ballroom
competitions all across the US. While the competition scene looks a little
different this year with COVID, it still exists! I?m writing today to
announce our participation in a very special entirely online competition
hosted by the USA Dance Collegiate Committee. This opportunity is open to
any and all active members of our club (yes even you, newcomers!). Keep
reading if you?re interested in participating!

??What: The USA Dance Digital Collegiate DanceSport Challenge! This
entirely virtual collegiate ballroom dance competition gives dancers a way
to stay active despite the current circumstances. This competition offers
events at all levels (Newcomer, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Novice, Pre-Champ,
Champ) and in all four styles (Latin, Rhythm, Smooth, Standard). Dancers
are permitted to register for up to two consecutive levels per style
(That?s a lot of dancing!).

????Who: You!! You can compete solo, or with an established partner.
(Because of COVID, CMU BDC will not be facilitating any new partnerships.
We encourage you to follow all safety guidelines if you do choose to dance
with another person.) You will be competing against other collegiate
dancers from all over the US.

???How: Participation will be done entirely virtually by submitting
videos of your dancing. Each week for the duration of the competition, you
will be provided with dances and corresponding music for each level/style
you are registered for. You will then film one minute clips of your dancing
and submit them via YouTube. Judges will watch each video and give you back
a score from 0-100. The top 50% of scores in each level/style will continue
to compete again the next week.

???When: The competition runs from 10/30 to 11/24. You will film and
submit your video anytime Friday - Sunday. Videos will be judged
Monday-Thursday, and you will receive feedback for the following week.

????Where: Anywhere! Videos can be filmed in your dorm room, in the park,
or anywhere else you can find space. Studio space may also be available if
there is enough interest.

??How Much: FREE for active members! This competition typically costs $30
per student, but CMU BDC will cover all costs for active members. To be
considered active you must attend at least 10 Zoom lessons (any level, any
style) before the competition starts and continue to participate for the
duration of the entire competition.

??Sign up: Fill out the following form by October 9th to participate!
https://forms.gle/1RUXVouVK9WLjRBd6

???Learn More: Check out the official website! https://usadancedcdc.org/

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

*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.

??*Virtual Competition*??
As most of you know, CMU BDC is a competitive club. Beyond weekly lessons
and social dancing, we also have a very strong presence at ballroom
competitions all across the US. While the competition scene looks a little
different this year with COVID, it still exists! I?m writing today to
announce our participation in a very special entirely online competition
hosted by the USA Dance Collegiate Committee. This opportunity is open to
any and all active members of our club (yes even you, newcomers!). Keep
reading if you?re interested in participating!

??What: The USA Dance Digital Collegiate DanceSport Challenge! This
entirely virtual collegiate ballroom dance competition gives dancers a way
to stay active despite the current circumstances. This competition offers
events at all levels (Newcomer, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Novice, Pre-Champ,
Champ) and in all four styles (Latin, Rhythm, Smooth, Standard). Dancers
are permitted to register for up to two consecutive levels per style
(That?s a lot of dancing!).

????Who: You!! You can compete solo, or with an established partner.
(Because of COVID, CMU BDC will not be facilitating any new partnerships.
We encourage you to follow all safety guidelines if you do choose to dance
with another person.) You will be competing against other collegiate
dancers from all over the US.

???How: Participation will be done entirely virtually by submitting
videos of your dancing. Each week for the duration of the competition, you
will be provided with dances and corresponding music for each level/style
you are registered for. You will then film one minute clips of your dancing
and submit them via YouTube. Judges will watch each video and give you back
a score from 0-100. The top 50% of scores in each level/style will continue
to compete again the next week.

???When: The competition runs from 10/30 to 11/24. You will film and
submit your video anytime Friday - Sunday. Videos will be judged
Monday-Thursday, and you will receive feedback for the following week.

????Where: Anywhere! Videos can be filmed in your dorm room, in the park,
or anywhere else you can find space. Studio space may also be available if
there is enough interest.

??How Much: FREE for active members! This competition typically costs $30
per student, but CMU BDC will cover all costs for active members. To be
considered active you must attend at least 10 Zoom lessons (any level, any
style) before the competition starts and continue to participate for the
duration of the entire competition.

??Sign up: Fill out the following form by October 9th to participate!
