Have you heard of the Faculty Dancing Club?  Although it was primarily for faculty members at the University of Minnesota, it now is also open to non-faculty members.

A long-standing club for people who love to dance, the group usually has five dances a year between September and May. There is a social hour followed by a dinner and then dancing to a live band.

Dances are held at the Student Center on the beautiful St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. The Northstar Ballroom has a large spacious wood floor, perfect for dancing the night away.  If you would like to be on the mailing list or would like further information about our dance club, please contact Dave Yarusso [email protected].

Attendance is restricted to those 21 years of age and older.  The club is designed for couples; the dances are not mixer events. We invite all ballroom dance lovers to join us!

The web site for the Faculty Dance Club is: https://sites.google.com/site/facultydanceclub/Home.

On the website you can find a list of the dances for the year along with the live bands scheduled to provide music.  There is one more dance this spring — on April 30. The typical charge is $80 per couple, which includes dinner. There is a cash bar.
