    Dear Dancers and Future Dancers,

    If you have dance experience and want to improve and compete, DanceSport
    team auditions are Tuesday, Sept 1, 6-8pm, Illini Union Oasis MP room.
    https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ro/www/IlliniDancesport/

    The Dancing Illini is kicking off the year with two beginner courses:
    Hustle/West Coast Swing and Salsa/Nightclub 2-step. For those with some
    dance experience, we have Accelerated Rumba & Jive and Accelerated
    Waltz & Quickstep. Repeat students are welcome in all classes.

    You don't need a partner, but due to the reduced room size this year
    we are asking students to pay at the beginning of class the first week.

       Beginner West Coast Swing & Hustle
       Wednesdays, 6:15-7:30pm, 6 weeks starting Sept 2 at McKinley Foundation

    Pricing:

       There is no need to pre-register. Your $30 membership (or $35
       registration if non-UIUC) entitles you to one 6-week course.
       Additional courses in the same semester are $20. Prices are per person;
       there is no couples discount. The first week is not free this year.
       Please be prepared to pay at the start of the first class.

       EARLY-BIRD SPECIAL: Save $5 on membership if you pay the first week!

       Want to get all your Dancing Illini classes for free? Volunteer some
       of your time and enthusiasm as an officer! If you are interested
       please email dancing at illinois dot edu and we'll find you a job.

    Where We Dance:

       The Regent Ballroom has dancing most Fridays, 8-11pm, $8. The music
       starts out strictly ballroom and shifts to nightclub (e.g., hustle and
       west coast swing) as the night goes on, so join your DI friends at the
       table by the DJ. http://www.regentballroom.com/pages/publicDances.html
