From Arthur Lim, Social Outings Coordinator for PLBD:
Greetings Fellow Dancers,
We will have our Fall Ball this Saturday, November 8th. For those of you who are new, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about this event.
What is the Fall Ball? The Fall Ball is the once-a-semester SOCIAL event on campus organized by our club, the Penn Latin & Ballroom Dance Club. It is NOT a competition or a test of how well you dance. The only thing that matters is that you are interested in dancing. This event will be a good opportunity for you to meet and socialize with others who share the same interest. We don't even care if you haven't learned how to dance yet since there will be a beginner lesson during the first hour of the ball.
Do I need a partner? NO ONE is expected to come with a partner. In the past, 99.9% of those who attended did NOT come with a partner. Try to meet as many new people as you can. Remember, this event only takes place ONCE A SEMESTER.
How should I dress for the ball? Just try to dress as nicely as possible. There is definitely no need to get a new or special outfit though.
Will there be salsa dancing at this event? Although we will definitely have salsa, bachata, and merengue dancing, we will also be playing music for the other ballroom dances (waltz, tango, foxtrot etc.) You are NOT expected to know all these dances though.
