Reminder Details

Carnegie Classic:

   1.

   Compete: Whether you’re brand new joining us from rush, or an
   experienced dancer who’s been with us for years, we want YOU to sign-up for
   Carnegie Classic! Even if you don’t have a partner, we’ll have a robust TBA
   system to match you with someone to dance with. Never competed before? Then
   this is the BEST time to start. Sign-up for the newcomer level, compete
   right here in your home ballroom, and enjoy a first-timer discount just for
   CMU ballroom members! To register, we've created a google form for you
   to fill out here.
   <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGA6_CZDNqDpsSsJkVfARVWMnVBUqXicNSWdvyu-cVIfEJ0g/viewform>
   2.

   Volunteer: We need lots of volunteers! Please try to sign-up for at
   least one thing. Jobs vary in time commitment and effort, so you should be
   able to pick something that works with your schedule. Fill out the form
   to volunteer here
   <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuTpsnvL8sOU_4Y7zthM0iBfy1xU8B8t0doI3wBcsAcgTQXQ/viewform>
   .
   3.

   Host: In order to make CC accessible for more people, we want to offer
   housing options. If you have a floor or a couch you’d be willing to let
   folks sleep on for the weekend, it could make a big difference for someone
   traveling from out of state. If you’re interested, please fill out this
   form by February 5th
   <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSf8AHKOB72Zhtzae3m0QJfCYyd7Lysw5vMEMjit1-x5cs1A/viewform>

Community Events

You should be dancing at Carnegie Classic this weekend… but if you’re not
for some tragic reason, you can check out the shoe exchange + social
happening at the Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center on Feb. 10th from 7pm -
10pm.

Resources

Attendance:

Please fill out this form every day that you attend!
<https://forms.gle/LpB12mhtKKcjnY8W9> You can fill it out here in advance
or afterwards if you forget.

Payments:

Students owe $40, non-students owe $90 (unless you start the week of Spring
Break or later, then it is half off). This one-time payment covers all
lessons through the end of Spring (note: if you saw a typo here last week
that said “through the end of Fall”... that was incorrect, sorry). We
accept cash or check, paid at the front table. If you want to pay online/by
card, please follow these instructions
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/18_1T5WMRG1t8QDjebvwHMo8VPniSbSbFHah879Vw22g/edit?usp=sharing>to

Round Videos:

Our resident videographer, Eric, records and posts videos of rounds at
https://ericonomics.me/rounds . Password is danceyourownstyle . He updates
this website regularly, so you can always check back here for more rounds
videos.

This week’s most meme-ingful message

Happy Dancing!

Abby, Brenna, Eleanor, Jamie, Jolie, Kyr, Sasha, & Saumya
