Our Open House on 5/15 is Around the Corner

2010-05-04T01:10:00.001-04:00

Hey Fellow Dancers,
The Rutgers DanceSport Alumni Club, or as many of you fondly know us as RU Dance Alumni, is hosting a Free Open house on Saturday, May 15th in Metuchen, NJ.

We are happy to have Vladimir Popov teach a beginner and intermediate/advance dance lesson in International Standard. Lesson will start at 4:00 PM, so bring your dance sneakers or dancing shoes.

What is International Standard, you ask?
It is a style of ballroom dance which includes the following dances: waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, viennese waltz, and tango. You may have seen some of these dances on shows such as "Dancing With The Stars", and the best thing about International style is that the steps are used Internationally. Which means, if you decide you have the dancing bug and go to Italy on Holiday, you will be able to dance with a person in an International Style Dance while in Italy.

The lessons are Free and open to Rutgers Alumni, Friends and Family of Rutgers Alumni, as well as Rutgers Faculty/Staff/Students. After the lesson we will have some general dancing until 9PM.

So think about dropping by on Saturday, May 15, 2010 at the Social Center of the First Presbyterian Church, 270 Woodbridge Avenue in Metuchen. Looking forward to seeing some fellow Scarlet Knighters.
