Collegiate Social

Come join us and the Ballroom Dance Club at Pitt for our final collegiate
social of the year on Saturday, April 19 in Simmons B from 7:30pm–10:30pm
as we celebrate the end of the year. The evening will kick off with an
intro Charleston lesson, followed by plenty of dancing and refreshments!
Our spring showcase will also take place during the social! Bring your
friends—the more the merrier! Free for all students and due-paying members,
$5 for the general public.

Payment Information:

We hope you are having a great time taking lessons with us! Your first two
lessons (excluding rush) are free. After that, we ask that students pay $40
and non-students pay $90 in membership dues. This amount covers all the
lessons we offer for the entire Spring semester. All fees are reduced to
half price halfway through the semester. (Like now)
