In case you have forgotten, the last week of our 8 week classes are this
week. Be sure to take a look at the Tutor and Professional Lesson
coupons. As graduates of a Dancing Illini class, we offer a one-time
coupon for either a FREE tutor lesson or half off a professional lesson
(if two couples combine, they can get the lesson FREE).
I believe the Swing Formation Team will be performing this Tuesday night
at class (6:00-7:30) at Freer Gym. I suspect it will be in the middle or
end somewhere :)
This coming weekend, we have an Intercollegiate Social where we've invited
all the schools in the Midwest to come out and dance with us. If you have
space in your apartment or house to put up visitors, email me at
ch-tsang@uiuc.edu. It will be this Saturday, April 4th. As a part of
this event, Kathryn Schaffer (National Champion) will be teaching 2 FREE
workshops, one on International Foxtrot and International Rumba. You'll
see flyers for this event at class and practice.
As you may know, we had 2 competitions over Spring Break. The first was
at Ohio State University where the team took 2nd place in the
International Team Competition (I'll haul that trophy around this week too
:)). The second was at Notre Dame where the team placed 3rd in the
overall Team Competition (combination of American and International).
Alas, there were no trophies...(I guess my back will get a break :)).
Finally, I wanted to let you know that we will be starting our 4 week
short courses the week after our regular classes end. We'll have flyers
for them at classes and practice as well. Perhaps if you're up for some
humor, I'm going to try my hand at teaching on Tuesday nights :)
I hope everyone had a great Spring Break. I'm sure you missed dancing, so
make sure to go to the last week of class and practices tonight and
Wednesday night (9:30-11:00pm at the Regent).
