Dance the night away this Saturday night in Wilson Commons with the Viennese Ball. Gentlemen, take your best gal and make her think you’re classy.

Ladies, be sure to bring your camera to show your friends from home how great your stud looks in his tux.

Door prizes will be awarded, so if you don’t get lucky later Saturday night, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to win a prize.

The Ball will feature classic music of Strauss and others and will be performed by UR’s Chamber Orchestra.

The University Choir will perform as well. This event is the Choir’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

Tickets cost $10 if purchased in advance at the Common Market or $13 if purchased at the door. The event begins at 9 p.m.

Formal attire is required for this fine event.

For a crash course in waltzing and polka, go to Merle Spurrier Gymnasium Thursday at 7:45 p.m.

Yunis can be reached at tyunis@campustimes.org.
