Winter Showcase [ACTION REQUIRED 11/28]:

After the success and popularity of our Spring Showcase, we’ve decided to
do it again for Winter!

Grab a partner and show us your most fun choreography. Toss in all those
open level moves you’ve seen at comps! The haters won’t let you do a dip in
bronze syllabus competitions, but this is a showcase so do whatever you
want. Or: don’t grab a partner, show us your dance expertise in another
genre! In previous showcases we’ve had Irish Dance, Kpop routines,
juggling, and so much more, so don’t hold back.

We’ll be hosting the showcase in Rangos on Monday, December 4 from 9-9:30 pm
(during our usual social time). Sign-up with this form by November 28th.

Holiday Gift Exchange [ACTION REQUIRED 11/20]:

You are cordially invited to our holiday gift exchange and potluck on
Friday, December 8 from 7-9pm in UC Danforth Lounge! If you want to
participate in the gift exchange and/or bring food, please fill out this
form by November 20th.  <https://forms.gle/3BrZ4HgKj4A3GLkx9>

Structured Saturday Practice

Sasha and Tommy are leading an all-level structured practice from 12-1pm
this Saturday in the Keeler room! The practice will mostly be focused on
Latin technique, but depending on interest may also include some Standard.
We are hoping to make this a semi-regular opportunity!
