Do I Need to Bring a Partner?

The short answer is no, you do not need to bring a partner to meetings or dances. Everyone is going to dance with everyone else in the end, so even if you did come with someone, chances are you will only dance with them for a portion of the time.

However, it is helpful to bring a friend of the opposite sex.

At the meetings in particular, there tends to be more ladies than there are gentlemen! If you can encourage your male friends to come and dance, everyone would be grateful.

Don't be afraid to dance with a stranger. It's a ton of fun!

Where is the HPLES building?

This is a question that a lot of student have emailed me about. The HPLES building is the official name of the PE building and is located adjacent to the Rec Center. The entrance closest to the dance studio faces Jaguar Drive. You can check out this official USA map to see what I'm talking about. The HPLES building is #56.

The dance studio is on the right side of the hall, directly after the vending machines. It is right before the new corridor on the right that leads to the weight room and offices.

What happens at a Swing Club meeting?

Just for clarification: our meetings are essentially a lesson. These are especially good for people trying to learn the basics. Be sure to come every time, because you know what they say: if you don't use it, you lose it!
