Ballroom dance classes
offer dance alternatives
By Lisa Millegan
EmerakJ Reportc
One student got tired of
club dancing. Another want
ed to find a way to meet new
people. The common con
nection? They're both en
rolled in a Ira 11 room dance
class at the University.
If class totals mean any
thing. ballroom dancing is
definitely gaining interest
on campus.
So what's the appeal?
Ballroom instructor Nancy
Anderson thinks ballroom
dance's growing popularity
is a reaction to the limited
social opportunities in to
day’s society. "Our society
is so segmented,” she said
"Everyone sits at their own
computer in their own
room.”
"It’s the perfect way to
meet new people."said Ball
room III student Mara Os
good.
University junior Anthony
Harding said he became in
terested in social dancing af
lor admiring professional
ballroom dancers on televi
sion. "It's so graceful and
beautiful."
After a term in the classes.
Harding says he can barely
remember how to do club
dancing, but lie isn't sum
"This (ballroom) is real
dance.' he said.
According to Anderson.
(willroom dancing is not an
activity limited to Highly
trained athletes who are par
ticularly talented at dam e
“If you can listen to mu
sic. you can dance." Osgood
said
This year, ballroom qnthu
siasts were aide to choose
classes at three levels of dif
ficulty.
Ballroom 1 students learn
the basics of social dancing,
or “enough footwork to have
a good time,’’ Anderson
said. In Ballroom 11. stu
dents are taught more dance
patterns.
Ballroom III was a new ad
dition to the dance curricu
lum last year. The students
are taught different dance
patterns, but with more em
phasis on style.
Until last year, the closest
place students could go to
ballroom dance outside of
class was the Vets Club, a
21-and-older establishment.
I-ast year, students finally
got together to form the Ore
gon Ballroom Dance Club so
that they could sponsor
dances closer to campus
Upcoming activities of the
group include a salsa work
shop next Wednesday at
8;30 p.m. in Room 302
Gerlirtger, and a dollar
dance next Friday at H p.m
in Room 220 Gerlingar The
activities are open to the
public
