General Announcements:



Ohio Star Ball: Commitment form due BY TONIGHT: We are going to travel to
Columbus on Nov 19-21 to compete at Ohio Star Ball! You really do not want
to miss this; it is a phenomenal experience and is typically one of the
highlights of the semester for all who attend. We compete in the college
sections during the day and watch the professional finals at night in a
black-tie attire event. The trip is subsidized for ALL members who paid
dues, regardless of enrollment status at CMU.

fill out this commitment form by November 1 if you have not done so
already:

Bootcamp for Ohio Star Ball newcomers: This Saturday at the Pitt practice
space at 5pm (scroll down). You must sign up here
<https://forms.gle/8xmo3i3yaspt41kk9> to be able to attend Pitt’s
practices. This is to help you newcomers to make sure you are ready to
dance all of the dances at OSB.



Late Rounds: Monday this week, 10:15pm. Want to get better fast? Dance
more, and do more rounds. These rounds help you get ready for competitions,
practice what you’ve learned, and will take your dancing to the next level.
We will do all 4 styles, and an extra round of Latin and Standard for the
very motivated! Especially if you are going to go to the Ohio Star Ball,
you should be coming to these, but even if not, it will help you.



Membership Dues: $40 for students. $80 for non-students. Cash or check.



Mentoring groups created: For those of you that have paid dues, we are
having a mentorship program running for the semester, split among different
houses hosted by our veterans. If you are not currently in a mentor group,
it is because you haven’t paid your dues. Pay your dues to Arthur and he
will add you to a group.



Practice Session at Christine’s Studio: Christine is hosting a supervised
practice session at Night and Day Dance Studio on Sunday, November 14 from
6:00-8:00, $5 per person. This is not for social dancing but instead mostly
to prepare for OSB. However, anyone that wants help is welcome to join.
There is limited space, so only the first 30-35 people who are planning on
going will be able to attend. Register here:
