Hey everyone!
Congratulations to all those who danced this weekend at Northwestern! Let’s take a little break to catch up on schoolwork and get training for the Arnold (3/6-8). Here’s your WAG:
- Lesson Schedule – We’ll start guided practices this week – on Thursdays, the normal newcomer lesson time (9-11pm in the IMSB) will be split into a condensed lesson and an hour of practice with teachers there to help answer your questions. Everyone is still invited; if you don’t have a partner, this is a great time to try practicing with different people. This week’s practice will also have…
- Valentine’s Showcases – If you want to do a cute lil dance with your ballroom valentine or anyone else on this Thursday before Valentine’s Day (2/12), fill out this form.
- Valentine Party – We shall be honoring St. Valentine with a party on Friday, February 13th at 9pm. Taryn will send the location and party reminders in a separate email.
- SAPAC Training – We hold mandatory trainings with the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center on consent and bystander intervention. Training will be on Thursday Feb 19th at 7pm. Look out for more details coming from Taryn later this week.
- Practice Space – Here is the carpool signup sheet for the upcoming week. Check the schedule below for details
- MichComp – We’ll be holding our own competition next semester on March 21st at Skyline High School. Save the date!
- We’ll be advertising for Michcomp in the coming weeks. If you’re not on a tryout team and want to help, sign up here.
- MichComp Committee – Our next meeting will be Friday, February 20th 9-10PM in Mason Hall 1339.
- Partner Search – If you are looking for a partner to practice, compete, or try out with, come to the partner activity on February 17th, from 6-8pm in MH3314. You can meet other newcomers and we might play some games! Also, add your info to the partner search spreadsheet.
