Hello ballroom friends,

Congratulations to all dancers who traveled to Penn State this past
weekend! This week, we’re starting a new 2-week block of veteran-taught
lessons, teaching American Waltz, American Cha-Cha, and Syllabus Swing.

For those who have already attended their two free lessons for the
semester, please pay your lesson dues this week! The price is $40 for
students and $90 for non-students, and this payment covers all lessons for
the Spring semester (note: dues are not required for the 9:30 social
dancing lessons). We accept cash, check (payable to Carnegie Mellon
University), or payment via CashNet (see the attachment for instructions).

The Carnegie Classic <http://carnegieclassic.com> competition held at CMU
is coming up during the weekend of February 17-19!

   members (regardless of experience level) to sign up to compete!

   To help our new members to prepare for the competition, we are
holding a newcomer
   bootcamp on Sunday, February 12 from 1:00-5:00 PM in Studio Theater!
   There will be lessons going over all of the different dances in all four
   styles you can compete in.

   We really need volunteers to host competitors from other colleges for a
   night or two during the weekend of the competition. If you’re able to house
   anyone during the weekend of the competition, please fill out this form
