OU Latin Dance Club is hosting a ball fiesta on November 9 that
features authentic Latin dancing.
Heather Arnett, a French senior who is a member of Explosión Salsera, OU’s
advanced Latin dance performing team, has been teaching a four-week
salsa workshop especially for the ball. She said the goal of the ball is to raise awareness and interest
in Latin dancing.
According
to the OU Latin Dance Club’s Facebook page, this year marks the fifth year in a
row to hold the ball. The group dedicates itself to “showcasing and
teaching social partner dancing of vibrant Latin rhythm.”
An
hour before the ball begins, attendees have to opportunity to take part in a
mini dance lesson, Arnett said. In addition, Arnett’s group, a live band and
other special guests will perform throughout the night.
“It's
always exciting to teach new people and get people interested in salsa and
Latin dance,” Arnett said. “It's also very rewarding to see them picking up the
steps and turn patterns. The students make it very fun!”
The
ball begins at 9 p.m. in the Molly Shi Boren Ballroom in the Oklahoma Memorial
Union. Admission is $5 but is free for students with an OU ID.
