We meet each Monday during the semester, except for school holidays.

8 - 9 pm: Intermediate Class

• Covers more intricate figures and sequences, musicality, and social floorcraft. 

9 - 9:30 pm: Open Práctica

• Music in the background, Q&A with the instructor, practice what was just taught or hash out new figures you've seen.

Membership

Membership is open to individuals with an active affiliation with Penn or existing club members.

This includes Penn students of all divisions (including online and exchange), faculty, staff, postdocs, and visiting scholars. 

All members may attend one or both classes for the same semester fee and regardless of their level. 

We do not hold auditions or "grade" members by level.

FAQs

No partners, experience, or special footwear is required to join. 

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.
