Hello, ladies (and gentlemen)! Rico Suave, here. I just wanted to notify you of our next practice today! Who wants to learn to be sexy? You do. Who? That's right, you. Rico Suave (and his TLD associates) can help.

Who: Anyone!!! This practice and the next practice are FREE! So go ahead and bring your friends or that special señorita/señor you've had your eye on!
FYI: Please bring your UT ID to get past the front desk of the RecCenter and wear non-skidding shoes (i.e. tennis shoes, heels, dancing shoes).

About me: Texas Latin Dance is a dance-based student organization here at the University of Texas at Austin with a strong mission statement that has catapulted it to the success it has today: Promoting an informal and friendly environment while teaching various genres of Latin Dance.
Texas Latin Dance isn't just a dance organization; we offer many other interests to appeal to our members. We have athletics in which we play soccer, volleyball, indoor soccer, and basketball. We have social events making it easier to congregate and make new companions. For the past years, we’ve participated in Shack-A-Thon, a community service event where we raised awareness of poor housing and homelessness by living in a shack for 3 days and 2 nights. Not only do we offer teaching classes, we have a performing section. TLD Company performs around Austin and for various organizations on campus. But, we’re not just an organization... we're family!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone willing to dance!
