[CMUBDC] Ballroom Dance Club - Week of 1/24

[CMU Ballroom Dance Club]

Hello Ballroom Friends,



Hope your first week of lessons went well! Being remote is certainly not
the best of circumstances, but we plan to continue this semester with our
dancing foot forward. Read on for more info!



General Announcements:



Rush: Due to the spread of the Omicron variant, CMU and Ballroom are going
remote for the first two weeks of classes. Because of this, we will be
delaying Rush to January 31st and February 2nd at 7pm in Rangos Ballroom.
See you there!



Ice Skating Event at Schenley: If you’re interested and in the Pittsburgh
area, a few of us are planning a time for ice skating with Pitt students at
Schenley Park. Please fill this form

out by January 30th.



Auditions for group lesson placement: With the start of the Spring semester
also comes our first set of auditions. Auditions are held at the beginning
of each semester for returning club members in order to place them in their
relevant level for lessons in the coming semester. Auditions will be held
before Rush at 5pm on January 31st for Latin and February 2nd for Standard.
If you cannot make this audition, please send us an email as soon as
possible so we can coordinate an audition with our instructors so you can
be placed in the class that best fits your skill level.



Preview of this semester’s other events:

Feb 26: Guest coach workshop (Details to come)

March 19: Scotch Ball (Details and tickets to come)

April 1-3: USADance Amateur and Collegiate National Championships IN
PITTSBURGH!

Online Lessons: In order to help people prepare for Auditions, we will be
hosting online lessons over the next two weeks for people to attend. Please
attend the lessons at the level you will be auditioning at in a few weeks.
They are Intermediate 1 (Bronze), Intermediate 2 (Bronze and Silver), and
Advanced (Gold and Open).
