October 3rd

Salsa Seminar 2 will begin on Oct. 3rd at 7:00 and run until 9:00 p.m. These classes will be a combination of Merengue, Bachata, and Salsa. If you love to dance these are the classes for you. We are really trying to do a more variety of Latin Dances this time, so it should be very fun! The classes will be every Tuesday and Sunday for a month, lasting for 2 hours from 7-9 p.m. in Concordia Ballroom located on La Crosse St. across from Papa John's. This will be Victor's 2nd generation of classes in La Crosse. The first classes were amazing and these ones are going to be even

better. There will be a graduation party on Oct. 26th, where everyone is invited, even non-students. We are going to have special events held at

the graduation as well. The cost for the seminar is $50 for students and $65 for others. We ask that people RSVP so we can have an idea about

how many people will be coming. Also, Victor will be teaching the classes in Spanish again, with translators along side.

To RSVP or learn more about the dance classes, contact Shawna Soukup at (608) 397-3567 soukup.shaw@students.uwlax.edu or Victor Ocaranza at(608) 397-3568 vyov2099@hotmail.com
