Announcement: Ballroom Classes
There were a lot of you, who, during the last general meeting, expressed interest in ballroom classes. Still not sure if you guys were serious, but whatever the people say they want, the people get.

With that in mind, the Dance Club is pleased to announce our first ballroom class will be held this Thursday, 12/02/09 from 4-5pm in the classrooms C18 and C20.

Sort of like that, but maybe not quite.

The classes will be taught by the same man who brought Latin to Taylor's, Mr William Lor, who is not just extremely qualified but - as anyone who's ever been for one of his classes here will tell you - is a fantastic teacher with a great sense of humor.

Yes.

Class fees will be RM45 per month, the same as our Latin classes - and we can assure you that this is a price you will find nowhere else (okay, maybe in the other colleges he teaches, but you can't really go there anyway).

Don't try to deny it. We all know that you watched Enchanted, and that you loved it.

However, while we've managed to cram almost fifty people into a Latin class before, the ballroom styles of Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot and the like will definitely take more space, and as such we will only be taking 20 people into a class - 10 lucky guys and 10 lucky girls, so please, send in your registrations right away.
To taylorsdanceclub@gmail.com, along with any questions or information you'd like to give us about yourself. Use the subject [Ballroom Class Registration].

Okay now! We really, really recommend you bring a partner for this one. It's alright if you can't find one, but, you know, it would be good if you could.

Yeah, you can totally learn to do that. Seriously, why not?

Now, please remember that this class is more of a pilot, and if the response is good we will soon open another class, probably as early as March, so send in your registrations!

See you Thursday!

Announcement: Committee Meeting (Updated)
The following information is new and up to date as of 10/02/09.

The first committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, 11/02/09 at from 4.00pm to 5.00pm.

For those of you who end at 3.00pm or earlier:

We will be at the cafeteria from 3.15pm to 3.45pm (coming to see us early will give us a chance to get to know you and also leave a good impression). We will head to the meeting room at 3.45pm.

For those of you who end at 4.00pm:

We will leave a notice with the location of the meeting on the cafeteria notice board (after 3.45pm duh). If you are unable to locate the notice, you can contact us at 016-955 4388 to check.

Please be on time. Feel free to contact us for additional information or inquiries.

Announcement: New Latin Class
Good news!

Effective 13/02/09, there will be two Latin classes every Friday from 3-4pm and 4-5pm. Also, until further notice, all classes will be held in the classrooms C18 and C20.

Please note the following.

Everyone:
  1. Registration for both classes is now open. Kindly send us an email with the subject Latin Classes to let us know which slot you would prefer. Include your name and contact number. Priority will be given to the members who attended last week's class, and spots will be saved for those who have already paid (note: the fourteen members who already chose the 4-5pm slot need not register again).
  2. The maximum number of people per class is 30.
  3. Please bring the payment of RM45 when you come for the first class of any month.
  4. Four classes will be held every month. You are advised not to miss more than one class a month, so you do not fall too far behind the other students; however, you may contact us if you feel you need help catching up on missed lessons - our team will be glad to help you whenever convenient.
  5. Bringing a partner is not necessary but often good, as the girls usually outnumber the guys by a fair amount.
Choosing a time slot:

3-4pm:
+ Can go home early.
- Have to leave as soon as the 4-5pm class begins.
- Best to come early, as time spent arranging tables and paying fees and stuff cannot be replaced (see above).
4-5pm:
+ Can finish late if class starts late or instructor has more to teach.
+ Can hang around after class to practice, dance or learn from other students.
- Have to go home late (though five isn't really that late).
We personally recommend the 4-5pm slot. Just having fun dancing outside of class can be pretty sweet. But whatever your decision, let us know soon and we'll see you all on Friday!




Update : Latin Class Reminder
Updated: The class venue has been confirmed as C17 and C19.

Hey everyone! :) Just a friendly, short (very short) reminder!

Latin classes are ON this Friday (06/02/09), at 3.30pm - 4.30pm as per usual! We will be learning a new dance this week, somewhere along the lines of... Chacha, Jive and the likes, as we have completed Samba! :)

Everyone will get a say in what dance we're to learn next, so dont fret! :)

By the way, please do remember to bring the payment of RM45 for our instructor, Mr William Lor! To make collecting the fees much more convenient, it is to be paid at the door. :)

And just another short reminder! AGM meeting this Thursday (05/02/09) at LT2 !!

Thanks! Hope to see you this Thursday & Friday! :)

Update: Music Club Performance
We are really sorry to those of you who did not get the chance to sign up earlier, but registration for the performance will be closed at midnight tonight (Monday, 02/02/2009).

We have a lot of performers.

Don't worry though. There'll be a ton of other chances for you to perform this year.

Also for performers who have already registered (you should have received an SMS about this) there will be a briefing and practice tomorrow (Tuesday, 03/02/09) from 3:00pm to whenever.

We will meet up in the cafeteria.

Even if you have something on (for example, the SAM Student Council's meeting at 3.30pm), please come just for a couple of minutes. We're going to be sorting you into groups.

If you really can't make it, please let us know (016-955 4388) so we can meet you during your break or something.

Those of you who can make it, please let us know too. You can message the above number or just leave a message in the feedback box on the right.

For those of you who can stay for practice, you can stay as long as you like, and just wear something comfortable.

Thanks!
