It was run by an outside instructor and the students had no control. After being elected president, Nguyen restructured the organization. I did all the teaching in the beginning and then networked with area dance studios. They needed younger students and we needed good instructors. Penn's Ballroom Dance Society now offers lessons by outstanding professional instructors every Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m., at English House in the Class of '38 Lounge.
Instruction is given at all levels and the last hour is taught by advanced students.
