Also check out Michigan Ballroom Dance Club at the Michigan Union on Sunday night!. The crowd is changing, I notice lately a nice mix crowd, not just young students. Dancing starts at 8:00p.m. We had about 12 dancer going to Pizza House afterwards. Maybe we are on a wave because of all the hype of Dancing with the Stars.
