We have different areas for different dancing styles, so this will be a great opportunity to practice all the skills you learned in class! 

You really don't want to miss this one! 🌲✨

When: 1 december
Time: 20:00-23:00
Where: Training Room 4 and Spinning Room

Dear dancers!

As some of you might know and have seen, there is a dance style many EDS’ers know and love, despite there not being any lessons for it at EDS. Well... we are talking about Bachata, of course! This lovely Latin style is very flirty and often danced on our dance evenings and at Striktly salsa en bachata. Do you want to join the fun and learn some Bachata moves? Then, sign up for our Bachata Bootcamp given by the amazing teachers of Bachata Passion! The workshop will focus on Bachata Sensual, which is the more sexy side of Bachata and will certainly make hungry for more!

This time we are dedicating a day especially to all the ones who have meant so much to the Erasmus Dance Society in yet so little time, a.k.a., the First-Years! We are not gonna reveal just yet what the activity really is, but we can already say that it is gonna interesting and extremely fun! We are focusing on our new members, but a little bit of mixing up shouldn't be a problem, right?
Old members are also welcome!

The activity is going to take place in the city! More information on where we meet exactly will follow (check our FB page!). And afterwards we will get a drink together at another mystery location!

Well... it's already time for the next activity of the year and this time... we aren't eating (throwback to the EDS BBQ), but DRINKING!

The 29th of September we have our First Monthly Drink of the year for all members! 
Next to this we are dedicating the first hour (19.00 - 20.00) of the drink to all the people interested and in that way possible future members of our EDS committees, cause we are recruiting! We have a couple of committees this year, such as the Activities Committee, the Gala Committee and more! So, if you're interested and have any questions you would want to ask, there are representatives of all committees present.

Time: 19.00 - 23.00
Location: In de Smitse Café, located on campus Woudestein

And no entrance fee!

Let's get our drink on and afterwards go to Striktly - 2nd anniversary BIG celebration!! all together!

Attention! Attentie! Achtung! Uwaga! Atenshon! Atención!

The first activity of the dance-year is just around the corner!
For this one special day we transform into the Eating Dance Society, because eating is something that we love equally as dancing ;-) 

Join us for food, chilling, some dancing and other activities (to be announced soon!). Everybody is welcome from 14:00, you can obviously stay as long as you want. 
For now the forecast is 18 degrees and sun, but no worries, we have also plan B for bad weather scenario!

Since everyone wants to know who is single so they can ask them out on a date we will make the night interesting with a special dresscode:

Single guys and girls: Red.
In a relationship: Black.
Not sure/complicated: White.

Like the previous dance evenings there will be 2 rooms, one with salsa, kizomba bachata and hip hop and the second room with ballroom music.

So come find your love at the dance event.

Lots of love,
