A new year - a new dance course
or perhaps two
We (Uli and Marion) plan new dance courses on thursdays starting with the new term. If possible we would like to give two of them, one for beginners and afterwards one for advanced. Though I didn´t have an answer yet from the University Sports club I cannot give any more details.
If possible it´ll be around 7 - 10 pm hopefully in Jakobi 5, but that is not sure. So don´t rely on this.
For those, who are going to the ball tonight. There will be another afterparty, an inofficial one, but I heard it´s ne cooler one. Decide by yourself:
Here is some information(in estonian though) about the Poslebala (Afterball) in
fraternity Ugala - http://stok.pri.ee/poslebala/
Most important information:
Where - fraternity Ugala (http:// korp.ugala.ee), Kuperjanovi 16
Price - Free
Begins - at midnight
Ends - in the morning
see you at the ball and at the afterball

Now there is an extra newspaper for the ball. You can find it among other places in the hall of the Raatuse dorm. It is in estonian but with many pictures from the last years ball and including the programm and all dances on the second page. The dances and the programm are now also on the webpage of the ball (see link). So now you are able to dance at least 45 of the nearly 50 dances and this you learned within less than one month. Congratulation!!
The discofox will be at the afterparty.
See you on the floor
In december we will give an additional lesson and for those who want we can show a little bit of the samba.
So diarise thursday, the 7th of december 8-11 pm.
The continuation of the course or a new beginner course will hopefully start in january/ february 2007. Details will come come.
Who wants to watch a ballroom dance competition can do this at the 2. and 3. of december here in Tartu in the A.Le Coq Sport Hallhttp://www.dcstiil.ee/files/Tartu_Cup.pdf
Already this weekend there is a big IDSF Dance competition in Tallin:
The dresscode is a good topic to talk about for hours or for men just a minute.
Several of the participants asked me about the dresscode at the ball beause it is their first ball.
At the estonian balls the dresscode seems to be the same like in other europea countries.
So what you find here are my suggestions from the experience of the balls I participated.
So let´s start with men:
Best will be a dark suit or at least a dinnerjacket and fitting shoes (best are black). If you don´t have a suit take best black/dark trousers and an elegant jacket. These should be ok as well. Or you can lend a suit in one of the three adresses below.
You should also have a tie or a bo tie (german: Fliege).
Never: blue jeans, T-shirt, sportshoes with white socks etc.!
You want to impress the ladies, don´t you?
And now the ladies:
A ballroomdress with fitting shoes would be wonderfull, but I guess non of the excange students took one with them.
So you can lend a dress at the mentioned places below or a good skirt with a nice blouse or top will be ok as well. In combination with a nice coloured scarf or necklace your costume ist complete.
I was asked if strapless dresses or corsages will fit here in estonia and the answer is Yes. Best is then a combination with a scarf. So you prevent freezing after intensive dancing.
If you want to wear shoes with high heels please make sure that you can walk and dance with them....
Trousers fit only if they are very very suitable (noble and precious) and you don´t have another choice.
Never: sporthoes, T-shirt etc.!
the guys should look up to you!
NB! NB! NB!
The most important thing:
HAVE FUN!!!
