Then you should join the Dancing Illini DanceSport Team.
Why?
Because you'll get a solid dance foundation from the team's coach,
Kathryn Schaffer---a National Champion in both Latin and standard dances.
You'll also have access to weekly coaching sessions, to polish your
dance.
Who should join?
Anyone who is interested in dancing well and is committed
to working at becoming a better dancer.
How do I join?
Joining is easy. You just sign up and pay your team dues at the
first class---$50 per person for summer, this does not include DI
summer dues. There are no auditions to join the team. Call Tanja
at 344-6917 or e-mail MadamTRH@aol.com to reserve a spot.
When do I have to pay?
At the first class. Because we are flying in a pro, dues will be
collected before you will be allowed to dance in these
classes---sorry, no excuses, no exceptions.
What are the class participation restrictions?
The beginner level classes will be open to all and no partners will be
necessary---at least a semester of dance is recommended; however,
the difficulty of the advanced level classes compels us to enforce a rule
that all advanced participants bring a partner---a temporary partner
is acceptable.
When and where are these classes?

will all beheld at: Top of the Levee Dance Studio,
204 ½ W. Washington, in Monticello.
(We will try to organize car pools for these classes.)
