Party : 7:30 - 12:00, Donate for a Dance
2010 Scholarship Ball program will be made up of dances that a donation has been pledged for by clubs or individuals. The number of dances is limited to 70 dances. The minimum donation to get a dance on the list is five dollars; any donation above $5.00 dollars increases the dance rank on the play list. The evening will open with the dances taught during the Introduction to Dance session. We will start playing the highest ranked dance at 8:00. At this time the program is full, remember pay for them at the door.

Changing a Dance's Ranking on the List.
For each dollar above five that a dance receives, a little bird will chirp for it. The more chirpers the higher the dance's ranking on the play-list. Everyone that comes to the ball will get one little bird to chirp for his or her favorite dance. If you want raise the chorus of chirping even louder, you can get all the little chirpers you want for a donation of $1.00 per bird.
