A Latino Dance Party is set for Friday, Dec. 7th, at the University of Colorado at Boulder to give CU students, faculty, staff and Boulder community members a chance to dance away 'end of the semester' and 'beginning of the holidays' stress.

Staff, students, faculty and area residents are welcome to attend the Latino Dance Party, which is free and open to the public.

The party will start with Latino dance classes at 8 p.m. in the Dennis Small Cultural Center, room 305 of the University Memorial Center on campus. A professional instructor of Latino dance will be joined by students from a CU Latino student organization to teach Salsa, Merengue and Cumbia.

The class will be followed by a mix of popular Latino music from Salsa to Hip-Hop until midnight. For more information, please contact the Dennis Small Cultural Center, (303) 492-4078, or email rubiasmith@hotmail.com.

The Dennis Small Cultural Center features a variety of programs, events and meetings that focus on race, gender, multi-gender and multi-cultural themes.
