It is free! No performances, just open floor dancing, music, snacks if people bring 'em, some costumes etc. for sale/swap, friends to dance with, big fun! :)
We'll have a very short (about 15 minutes) business meeting for the club instead of having a separate December meeting. It will begin after set up around 6:50pm. Remember, the club is open to the community! :)
Take a study/shopping break and be more efficient afterwards! Hope you can join us! Please send friends this invitation!
Directions: take WVU exit off I79. From the N turn left at end of exit, from S turn Right at end of exit. Go through light with signs for Target, Barnes and Noble, etc (University town Center), go through light at Sheets, go through light at CVS, go through light at Coliseum (on right, looks like a cupcake) and get in left lane. Turn left from left turn lane. Creative Arts Center is on the left and you can park in the parking lot out front.
If for some reason it is full (it shouldn't be) you can go back to light/intersection where the Coliseum will be on the left now and turn right onto Patteson. Take the first right and that parking lot is behind the CAC.
