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

[CMU Ballroom Dance Club]

Hello ballroom friends,

A few updates about today’s lessons:

   -

   Today’s social dance lesson will actually be Salsa, not Bachata. (We’ll
   be teaching Bachata later in the semester.)
   -

   Lessons will be in UC Rangos 1/2/3 today instead of Peter/Wright/McKenna.


Additionally, the time of the Newcomer Bootcamp has changed! It will now be
held on two days, covering two of the four ballroom dance styles
(Standard/Smooth/Latin/Rhythm) each day:

   -

   Saturday, September 17 @ 12:00-2:00 PM
   -

   Sunday, September 18 @ 1:00-3:00 PM

Both days will be in UC Keeler Studio. Come to get an overview of all of
the different dances!

Finally, we have additional practice space booked this week:

   -

   Thursday, September 15 @ 5:00-7:00 PM (UC Keeler Studio)


Happy dancing,

Your CMUBDC officers

McKenzie, Jamie, Sasha, Abby, Fa, Eleanor, Steven, Brenna
