And if you're in need of some fresh air, there's a little courtyard where you can cool down for a minute - or simply gaze at the stars in the night sky. First drinks are free for all guests! This party will be a ballroom party and there will be the opportunity to go dating to find a dancepartner if you don't have one yet! You can get a wristband at the entrance of the party and try some…

Dear members, SpelenderGrijs is an organisation that operates in multipile cities and also in Leiden. They organise a variety of events together with students for the elderly people in nursing homes.

September 29 we had our first party of the year! The party was organised by our party comission Festijn and the theme was Black & White. It took place in the USC and we had two rooms, one for ballroom and one for salsa, bachata and kizomba. This party wasn't your typical dance party because we managed to spice it up a little! We even danced to Bizzey and Yung Felix. When the party finished at 01:30 we didn't want to stop yet and we still had about 3 "this time really the last one"-songs. Luckily everybody helped to clean up and make everything look like nothing ever happend, thanks to your help we could leave the USC on time, so thank you all for helping! It was an amazing…
