http://dept.sfcollege.edu/ce/. 

You know Sunday nights we do Hustle! This month, Ray's speciality class on Thursdays is Hustle. Go out there, get some Hustle in you and come out and dance with us on Sunday nights, around 8 or 8:30 to 9:30. It is really fun. Come at 6 or 7 for Swing first.

Thursday nights we have West Coast Swing practice and dancing from 8 to 10 pm. You can do Hustle to much of the music as well. If anyone wants to come over after Ray's class to practice Hustle, we can stay late.

Are you ready to learn the Argentine Tango? You have three nights that cater to beginners, as well as to people with some experience. This is a great opportunity for you to learn the Tango, which will help all your dancing, in a casual, fun atmosphere and for an amount that is ridiculously inexpensive. Tuesday nights with Nick and Elke at 308 West, Wednesdays with David and Thuy at a private home and Fridays at 308 West with Burcin, Irene and the UF Tango Club.
