Hi!

Thanks for attending the first night of the Tech Squares class last
Tuesday.  We enjoyed meeting you, and we look forward to dancing with
you again this week.

This week we'll be dancing in La Sala de Puerto Rico, on the 2nd floor
of the Student Center, opposite Lobdell (where we danced last week).
All dances this term will be in either Lobdell or Sala.

We will start our weekly review session in the West Lounge, which is
right next to La Sala, on the left.  The review session starts at
7:30.  Attendance is optional (our caller, Ted, will review last
week's material during the first class tip), but the reiew session is
an easier and more informal forum in which to cover specific calls.
It is also a good way to get caught up if you miss a week.  If you
choose not to attend early walk throughs, please arrive promptly and
ready to dance by 8:15 so that we can get the first class tip started
on time.

Tech Squares' style of square dancing and learning is not like that of
other clubs.  We teach very quickly, with less opportunity for
practice, and dance faster to more complicated choreography.  We teach
the first two standard dance progams (Mainstream and Plus, the
programs danced by >90% of the clubs in the country), in 13 weeks,
while most other clubs take 40 weeks or longer.  This means that we
will be asking you to learn and keep up with a lot of material each
week.  If you miss two weeks in a row, chances are you will not be
able to finish the course.

If you are an MIT student and wish to receive PE credit, there is no
charge for the course.  If you are a student anywhere, our class costs
$2/session, or $11 for a subscription.  For non-students, the cost is
$3.50/session, or $40 for subscription.  Subscriptions last for the
duration of the class.  They save you money and make check-in quicker
and easier for both you and the club, so please consider buying one on
Tuesday night.  Checks can be made out to Tech Squares.
