Although our 8-week dance classes will be ending this week, the Dancing
Illini will continue to offer classes, practice sessions, social events,
and workshops through the end of the semester and into the Spring. Right
now, we'd like to invite you to continue learning how to dance with the
Dancing Illini. Below, you'll find a list of 4-week classes that will be
offered after the current set of classes ends. Pick the courses you want,
