At the 15th of December we had a 'Light' themed party at Quintus. Any sparkly, glittery and/or decorated-with-lights outfit was welcome at this Leidance feast! There were two rooms; one for salsa/bachata/merengue/kizomba, one for tango/waltz/chacha/rumba/quickstep/jive. Something extra was going on in this second room too. Those who were looking for a partner to dance the second or third hour of ballroom classes with, could do 'speeddating' here. At the entrance everyone received a glowstick to wear around the wrist. The colour indicated if someone was looking for a partner or not. And despite a small hiccup before the party started (the second room was full of stuff from Quintus and it had to be moved before te party started, which meant work-out time for the Board) it was a succes!…

At the start of this month, we had no idea that Friesenrock was even a thing. Our member Simon brought our attention to it and we decided to plan a workshop about it. We learned that it is a dance that is popular in Germany, intended for just having fun to all kinds of music. Also, instead of complicated footwork, it is a dance that relies heavily on twists and turns. After some of the moves we finally understood why it was called Knopentanz, as more than once we found our limbs being tangled. Luckily we didn’t get really dizzy and we even tried a few lifts. It was fun to try Friesenrock, thanks to Michael for giving the workshop and Simon for giving us this idea!

Dressing up as creepy as you can, dancing latin all night long, having fun with fellow-Leidancers... What's not to love about the 'Kizombie' party?! Many members really made an effort and showed up in creepy costumes. Thanks to Gino and Andrew the music was on point as well. De Eeuwige Student was our host for this party and the Board turned this venue into a scary dance place. If you want to see pictures of the 'Kizombie' party, click here!
