[CMUBDC] Ballroom Dance Club - Week of September 12th

[CMU Ballroom Dance Club]

Hello ballroom friends,


Our weekly lessons for the Fall semester start this week! For beginner
dancers, we highly recommend that you attend both the professionally-taught
and student-taught beginner lessons (highlighted in blue on the schedule
below), and also come to rounds in-between to practice what you learn! The
Swing and Bachata lessons are also great for beginners.

The first two lessons each semester are free, but we will be taking payment
for the lessons starting this week. We accept either cash or check (payable
to Carnegie Mellon University). The price is $40 for students and $90 for
non-students, and this payment covers all lessons for the Fall semester. If
you haven’t already, please also fill out the form at cmubdc.com/join.

We also have two upcoming events specifically designed for beginner dancers
!

   -

   Newcomer Bootcamp (Saturday, September 17)*:* During this “bootcamp”,
   we’ll give brief introductory lessons in a variety of different styles to
   get you acquainted with as many as possible!
   -

   Mock Comp (Saturday, September 24): Mock Comp is a fun, low-pressure
   mini-competition we hold at CMU every year so that new dancers can get a
   taste of what ballroom competitions are like. If you’re at all curious
   about competing in ballroom dance, we highly encourage you to check it out!
   You can sign up to participate here
