Around 7:00 p.m., attendees donned masquerade masks as they stepped into a speakeasy from the last century. The evenings entertainment featured a live jazz band made up of some of the sophomore men, who showed off their musical skills on the piano, drums, cello, and saxophone.
The dance floor was a blur of motion all evening. Those who wanted a little more of a challenge entered the foxtrot competition. Though many couples showed off impressive moves and technique, Marya Zorzi (27) and Rafael Martins (28) took home first place with their stunning performance. The dance competitions get harder to judge every semester because everyone keeps improving, said Andrew Le (25), the competitions MC. Its wonderful to see the dancing culture alive and well at TAC.
Dancing continued late into the night, especially when Brendan Seeley (27) taught everyone how to do the Virginia Reel, a lively folk dance. Mardis Gras might be the best holiday ever, joked Madeline Rogers (28). Its pretty much an excuse to throw a random party in the middle of February.
