[CMUBDC] Ballroom Dance Club - Week of September 19th

[CMU Ballroom Dance Club]

Hello ballroom friends,

Welcome back to our second week of lessons! Due to space restrictions, our
lesson schedule has shifted this week. Please check the lessons schedule
below carefully for your lesson location and time. We will not have our
student-taught American Waltz and American Rumba lessons this week, but
they will be back next week!

We will also be taking payment for the lessons this week! The first two
lessons for the semester are free, so you need to pay this week if you
attended both lessons last 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.

Mock Comp is coming up this weekend on 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! Sign up to participate here

by tomorrow (Monday, September 19).

   If you’re planning to compete at Mock Comp and want to borrow an outfit,
   Brenna will be taking groups up to the closet during lessons both Monday
   and Wednesday. We have a slideshow here

   one you'd like to try on!
