Hey everyone!

Do you remember how I talked about swing dancing in the beginning of the year? Well in a couple of weeks, there’s going to be something SO EXCITING happening. It’s called Hawkeye Swing Festival, and it’s going to be awesome. We are getting a bunch of the best dance instructors and musicians not only in the country, but in the world. They are coming to IOWA to teach us and dance with us, and it’s just going to be a really swell time.

I am so happy that I found this club. I’ve made so many friends, and even found my roommates for next year! Before coming here, I heard all about how important it was to join a club, and to do something that interests you outside of school. It sounds a little cliche, but it really is the most important thing to do, in my opinion. Finding something your passionate about makes the first year of school so much easier. Without the swing club, I don’t know what I’d be doing today!
