Salsa, Merengue and Nightclub Cha-Cha Workshop
with Tina Mangos
1:30pm - 10pm, Sunday, February 23rd
in the Illini Union Rooms B & C
The Dancing Illini would like to invite you to a dance experience you'll
never forget! Join professional dance instructor Tina Mangos, as she
shows you how to move your feet to the Latin beat! Tina will put us
through the paces in Salsa, Merengue and Cha-Cha (Latin nightclub style)
with lots of drills you can do on your own. You'll also have time to
practice during the session, where Tina will be there to coach you
individually.
It'll be a great way to release stress, to get a good dance workout,
and to learn some valuable social dance skills from a pro.
