Vintage Hawaiian Night
The Cornell Swing Dance Club cordially invites you to a night of fine dancing, music de D-J, and hors d'oeuvre in the lovely Willard Straight Hall 5th floor lounge. The optional attire is Hawaiian, beach, or naval vintage. This salon is quite agreeable for dancing and relaxation. The dance floor is delightful, the windows offer a lovely view of Ho Plaza, and the furniture is simply luxurious. A mere $5 yields a lesson, dance, and light refreshments. There is no charge for those students participating in our Tuesday evening practicum in the "Lindy Hop."
