A Tuesday Night in the WILK

It has been ages since I have written! And with that I am pretty sure I have lost the few readers I possibly ever had. But, here I am again and we'll see how long my posting lasts this time around.

This semester I am in a couple different news writing classes, and for one of them we were asked to go on a "road trip" and then blog about it. So for my road trip I ventured all the way over the the Wilkinson Student Center and entered the wonderful world of BYU dance club night. When I say club, I mean a student club with a president and other officers.



So I started off my night in the main ballroom with the Swing Kids club. I didn't stay long and dance there, but I did talk to the president and get a good quote or two for my story.

After the Swing Kids I watched Club Style, the hip-hop club, for a little while. They had an awesome routine to "4 Minutes" by Madonna and Justin Timberlake that they were dancing to. That was a lot of fun. A little later the more experienced dancers were doing a routine to another song that had some awesome moves in it.

When Club Style was done, the Country Dance Club came in. For this club I actually stayed and dance for a good while. I took a country-western dance class semester and loved it, so I felt a little at-home. I learned some awesome new moves and met some fun people.

After getting all nasty and sweaty country dancing, I left there to go check out the last couple clubs that were meeting. I first found the Salsa Club, and let me tell you, them kids can dance! There were some fantastic salsa dancers that I really enjoyed watching. With our racially diverse campus there were a lot of true-blood Latinos there that really added some spice to their salsa... bad joke, I know.

Back in the main ballroom the Social Dance Club members were doing some gorgeous Waltz dancing. They weren't dressed up or anything, yet they still looked so elegant.

As I was leaving, I stumbled upon a group hidden back in another room: the Breakdance club. Those kids were doing some awesome breakdancing moves. A couple guys even had helmets that they were using to practice spinning on their heads. There were a lot of people there that looked like they were just having fun learning new moves and perfecting the ones they do know.

All-in-all I really enjoyed the night. If you happen to be walking around BYU on a Tuesday night you should stop by the WILK and take a look at some of the great dancers BYU has to offer.
