Dues are a flat fee of $40 per semester for students, and $80 per semester for non-student Penn affiliates. We are able to keep dues at this level thanks to GAPSA funding.
We are taught by professional instructors Jake and Dasha.
You may dance any role you wish (and you may switch!), regardless of your gender.
