UW Swing Club: Your information station

Hey everyone, it's that time of the year where students go back to classes...on the weekends...WHAT!

This of course refers to the UW Swing Dance Club's weekly lessons that will be starting on Sunday, September 18th at noon in the PAC Studio 1. The beginner lesson goes from noon to 1:30 and the intermediate lesson does from 1:30 to 3:00. The lessons will be about 45 minutes long with some time at the end to practice what you've learned with the other dancers. Partners are not required since this is a social dance and dancer partners will be rotated frequently throughout the lesson. No experience is necessary, so come on out to our first lesson which is a trial lesson. We're registered through CampusRec which means you require a CampusRec membership in order to join, apologies.

Be on the lookout for the UW Swing Dance Club during CampusRec's Open House (September 14th, it's in the PAC but we may be elsewhere) and Feds Clubs Days (September 22 and 23 in the SLC)! Come, say hi, dance with us!

Other opportunities through the university for dancing:

UW Swing Dance Club's hosted 'Dancing in the Park'
Every Thursday, we grab the club's boombox and head over to the gazebos on the boardwalk by Silver Lake in Waterloo park and dance. This event has been run for many summers and keeps coming back due to its popular relaxed, social (and FREE) vibe. Dancing starts at 8:30 with a mini lesson upon request and goes until the park closes at 11:00. As for the long-term duration, I am up for coming out until the snow falls but it'll likely be mid to late October.

Practice at Perimeter Institute
If you're interested in learning some dance moves or working on stuff you've seen, a group at the Perimeter Institute will be hosting a practice on Saturday afternoons around 3:00 in their squash courts. No official lessons, but feel free to ask any of the physicists how they do those moves. Contact the UW swing club for more information.
