The Arts, News, and Views Comittee of SAC sponsored their first Dining Etiquette and Ballroom Dancing Program on Nov. 18 in the UC Ballroom.

Before the event began, Sodexho had finger foods and “mocktails” in martini glasses.

“We’re trying to promote culture at the university and help students when they enter the business world,” said comittee chair, Nicole Bennington.

Angel Ducak made a dining etiquette presentation and had an eight course meal mock place setting. She presented the Do’s and Dont’s of dining etiquette and things to remember when dining with a new boss.

After the presentation, Richard and Fran Robinson gave the origin, explanation and demonstration of five different types of ballroom dances. They taught the Waltz, Swing, Foxtrot, Rumba and Cha-Cha.

“I think it’s wonderful for SAC to be reaching out to the students and teaching them etiquette skills to be used for the future,” said Paige Copeland.
