Go to their website to sign up !
	West Coast Swing @ the Promenade	The Promenade has a day of dance just for you! So if you've gone on a Friday or Saturday and felt a bit overwhelmed by Ballroom dances you don't know, no worries- just grab a couple of classmates and come on Sundays! Currently there is no carpool organized for Sundays, but as the Promenade is so close to campus, that shouldn't deter you. Also, for more information on West Coast, Salsa, and other dancing in the Baltimore/DC area you can check out "DC Dance Jam Productions" at this website: http://home.comcast.net/~davemoldover/djp/ If Salsa and west coast isn't your thing try checking out: http://www.dancingwithgrace.com/ .
