Upcoming Events

Ballroom and Social Dance Party

We will have a dance party Friday, July 30, and you should come! The price is free for all students (both Caltech and visiting students) and Caltech affiliates, and $5 for everyone else.

Ballroom party
When: Friday, July 30, 8:00 PM ~ 12:00 AM
Where: In Dabney Hall, with beautiful hardwood floors
Price:
  • FREE for full-time students (with ID) and Caltech/JPL affiliates
  • $5 for all others
Description: We will have a mix of ballroom and social dance music. Our DJs will be happy to take any other specific requests. Come and dance with students from Caltech and other local colleges, meet new people and enjoy free snacks and drinks.

Since a number of the social dancers will likely be going to Do Something Blue later, we'll be loading more of the social music towards the beginning of the evening (first ~90 minutes). There will also be quite a bit of music that you can dance both ballroom and social dances to, but remember, if you're dancing a stationary/social dance try to stay near the center of the room so travelling dancers can move around the periphery!
Featuring: A nice spread of refreshments and munchies and an excellent variety of social and ballroom dance music to entertain late into the night!
