As a sneak peak, I can tell you that we will offer the three basic salsa levels (three 1.5hour lessons/sequence, starting Mon Jan 26) , plus beginners Rueda, and new club chacha & bachata sequences (starting Thu Jan 15). More soon!

- For Beginning & Continuing students, we'll have a review lesson on the first monday of class! it's important to come since you will be evaluated to be admitted to the Cont & Intermediate levels.

- We'll have two parties this quarter! dates & times will be announced soon!

- We'll have auditions for the new Salsa Performance Group members. They will be: Wednesday Jan 28, Feb 4th, in the Shoreland ballroom, starting at 8pm. Also on Monday, Feb 2nd, at Open Salsa. Please email salsa@uchicago.edu if interested in auditioning and your preferred date.

- Check our Blog at http://ballroom.uchicago.edu/Blog.html We are posting there the last pictures, performance videos, news and tips for salseros. You can subscribe via google reader or email to get the latest news!

- On February 12-15 it's the Chicago International Salsa Congress! check their website at http://www.chicagosalsacongress.com/home.html. It's a wonderful event, full of workshops, performance & music. There's discounted rate until Jan 9. There are also volunteering opportunities: usually you can volunteer for half a day and enjoy the rest for free! If you are interested in volunteering, please email me to salsa@uchicago.edu to put you in contact with the organization.

- Finally, we'd like to ask for volunteers for our Outreach Program: One of the most important ways that BLDA serves the community is by sending instructors to local schools to bring ballroom and latin dance opportunities to southside students. If you are a student with dance experience interested in joining our team of volunteer instructors, please contact me at salsa@uchicago.edu. It's a great way to introduce yourself to the club, gain experience and share the joy of dancing!

Happy Holidays, and go dancing!
