***SwingCal Spring 2009 ANNOUNCEMENT***

Social dancing is a means of expression, creation, enjoyment, and
gathering for communities in the 21st century. A group of Berkeley
students, originating from the on-campus group Lindy on Sproul, has come
together to create a class that presents social dancing from a historical
and political point of view, teaches different modern forms of social
dancing, and hopefully inspires students to embrace social dancing as a
form of American culture.

We will be presenting a 12-week series introducing students to different
forms of social swing dancing.  The course includes both a Beginner I
section for those new to social dancing and a Beginner II section for
those wishing to further their previous dancing knowledge.  No dance
partner is required.

Enrollment Info:

Space is limited, so enrollment will be determined based on attendance of
the first two classes and a short entrance essay to be written during the
first class.  The CCN will be given out during the second class.

Enrollment Summary:

    * CCN not given out until second week of class.
    * Attendence required for enrollment.
    * Essay written during first class required for enrollment.
