Upcoming Events
Our dances for this coming academic year are all first Fridays, except for the first dance of the spring semester on Friday, February 12th. Our first dance of the fall semester will take place in Wilder Main; all others take place in Hales Gymnasium. A short lesson for new dancers will precede every dance, and absolutely no prior dancing experience is necessary!
Note: all dates, times, and locations are subject to change. If you plan to come from out of town, why not send us an email just to confirm that our calendar is up to date!
