Top Twelve Reasons to Join



  1. 1. Practice - The club meetings are a great place to practice for a ballroom dance class or work toward a higher skill level.

    2. Dances - The Moonlight Dance Society allows students, who are members of the club, to come to the dances for free. The dances feature live bands and occasionally lessons before the dances.

    3. No Skill Level Requirment - The club has excellent instructors who have unlimited patience, even with people who think they have two left feet.

    4. Excursions - The club offers members chances to attend demonstations, competitions, and seminars to try new things and really explore ballroom dance.

    5. Guest Instructors - The club works to bring in instructors from outside the school for seminars on diferent techniques. Last year we had Henry Neeman (of Heny's Hotlist) come in and work on West Coast Swing and the Hustle, two dances that we are not normally exposed to.

    6. For the Fellas - The ladies want a man that can dance (trust me).

    7. For the Ladies - This is the place to find fellas that can dance.

    8. No Partner Needed - Don't fret! We rotate partners during club meetings, so everyone dances.

    9. Resources - The club rents out dance videos to its members, but more importantly provides friendly people with knowledge and experience.

    10. Clothing - The club sells stylish t-shirts with the SIU BDC logo on front. We have black or gray in all sizes for a mere twelve dollars a shirt.


And most importantly . . .

 

  1. 11. Camaraderie - Being a club member is a great way to meet people who are also interested in dance. And affords you an oppurtunity to meet with them for trips, dances, and of course club meetings.

    12. You will know how to dance! - Next time you're dancing at a wedding or other social event, you will be one of the few people who actually knows what they're doing! Or you can use your dancing talents to show off in front of your no-dancing friends (remember the end of "Swingers"?).


If you're still unsure, come to a meeting and find out for yourself what you have to gain, you have nothing to lose!
