Ballroom Masquerade

By Michael Gerstein

Saturday night, dozens of jovial Spartans gathered on the second floor of the MSU Union for a night of ballroom dancing, masquerading, sober fun.

The dance was organized under the premise of a fun, yet informative way to learn ballroom techniques to the tune of all of your favorite songs. It was intended to be an alternative to the more exclusive Honors College Ball, which only a limited amount of people are able to attend. Here, all students were invited to join in on the fun, free of charge.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. And although several students opted for the sidelines, lugubriously watching their peers cavort around the dance floor, I could tell even they were having fun at heart, and that’s all that really counts.
