What the heck
is HurryDate, you say?
HurryDate is a party with 50 single guys and 50
single girls. Two rounds
will be organized where youll talk to 25
people for three minutes at a time. You'll indicate on a SCOREcard whether
or not you'd like to see each person you meet again. We'll then calculate the
results and send you the email addresses of the people you matched with a few
days later. There were over 130 matches at the last HurryDate!
Throw in a
cool bar (Sophias!), great drink specials, and a fun,
anything-goes vibe, and

The
MIT Casino Rueda group would like to inform you of our IAP workshops.
For
those that do not know, The Casino Rueda Group offers a series of
4 workshops
every January. (DON'T FORGET TO RSVP!)
We will be giving 3-hour
workshops for four Saturdays in January. Saturdays left
are as
follows:
Dates: Saturday 1/12, 1/19, and 1/26
Times:
5:30-8:30 PM
Where: Room 491
Damage: $10
ALSO!!!!!!
Some days, we will be staying an extra hour afterward for people to
practice
what they've learned or anything else in general. Just think of it
as
extra dancing time for all you salsa addicts. If anyone wants any
salsa pointers,
we would be more than happy to give them to you....All you
need do is ask.
Remember that no partner is necessary. People will
be split up into three levels:
beginner, advanced beginner, and
intermediate/advanced. Notice that these levels
are not designated in
terms of salsa. If you dance salsa but not rueda, you will be
placed at
a beginner level. It will be up to the discretion of the instructors to
move
you up to the next level.
Workshops are formal instruction,
so bring your sweats, your jazz sneakers/dancing
shoes, your water bottles,
and plenty of energy to burn for 3 hours straight. With that
said, we
hope to see you all there.
Please RSVP by sending an email to
tinajero@mit.edu with your name, email/number,
gender (or lead/folllower),
and your estimated level.
