We're being extra careful to maintain Gender Balance this year. Single guys seem to wait to the last minute to sign up for the dance. If you are a single women on the waiting list there's a pretty good chance that you'll get in when all those single guys decide to sign up but you're GUARANTEED to get in right now if you can find a single male dancer to sign up and mention you on his registration form. |
