Come and learn the basics, or develop your existing skills. Our goal is to get you dancing and having fun right away. Emphasis will be on rhythm and musicality. Everyone will learn to both lead and follow.
The fundamental class will start with exercises on rhythm, walking, balance, and connection, and will focus on ochos and the cross.
This quarter, the intermediate class will work on barridas (sweeps) and other ways to play with the feet.
The classes will build skills throughout the series; so, while everyone is welcome to drop in for the occasional class it could be confusing to only come to the last class.
The classes will be held in the assembly room at the Bechtel International Center (422 Lagunita Drive, Stanford University).

You need:
-no experience. The fundamentals class will assume no
previous dance experience.
-for the intermediate class you must be comfortable with
leading and following ochos and turns
-no partner. We will switch partners frequently.
-no $$ courtesy of Bechtel
-comfortable clothing
-comfortable shoes. Leather or suede soles are best
but not required.

Dinning Room

Join us at Bechtel International Center to watch "The Lives of Others"
Pop-corn and refreshments will be provided.
Event co-sponsored by Bechtel International Center and the International Undergraduate Community (IUC)

Synopsis: Set in 1980s East Berlin, director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's debut feature (which earned an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film) provides an exquisitely nuanced portrait of life under the watchful eye of the state police. When a successful playwright and his actress companion become subjects of the Stasi's secret surveillance program, their friends, family -- and even those doing the watching -- find their lives forever changed.

ADVANCE SCREENING OF DOCUMENTARY "MADE IN PAKISTAN" followed by a Q&A session with Pakistani students at Stanford
November 6th
6:30pm
Assembly Room

In a country where fashion, politics, religion, debate and tradition intermingle and where one definition of an Islamic State no longer holds true, the protagonists of this documentary represent the multifaceted nature of Pakistan. Sensationalism of bearded men stalking the streets of Islamabad may feed the international media, but the country and its silent urban majority are the ones who still hold high stakes in what Pakistan is and what it will become.
Join us in giving a voice to this silent majority!
