The ‘20s are back and taking Presidents’ Ball by storm! From getting all dressed up with your closest friends to shimmying the night away on the DeVos Center dance floor, Presidents’ Ball is bound to be a night you’ll never forget. With the event coming up soon on Jan. 31, it’s time for us to help you get ready for your fancy night out.


Step 1: Practice, Practice, Practice

In preparation for the big night, remember that practice makes perfect. Presidents’ Ball is an excellent opportunity to show off you best dance moves, so it’s time to grab your closest friends, pull up that YouTube tutorial, and learn the Charleston!

Step 2: Now About That Dance Partner…

Now’s your chance to finally ask your crush out and invite them to foxtrot the night away with you at Presidents' Ball!  Friends can make great dance partners too, and either way, you’ll have a blast whirling and twirling the night away.
