De Anza College’s Inter Club Council will team up with the De Anza Associated Student Body Diversity and Events committee to host a fall dance for the second year on Nov. 19 from 9 p.m. to midnight.
After the introduction of last year’s Insomnia, this year’s dance, Insomnia 2.0, will take place in Conference Rooms A and B and will feature De Anza student DJ Eric, refreshments and prize giveaways.
“The [dance] is used for clubs to outreach and give back to the students,” said Dhoreena Ventura, ICC chair of programs.
Last year’s dance was met with mixed reviews and now the ICC is prepared to improve on Insomnia 1.0 and bring it forward with Insomnia 2.0.
“The first time was more of a trial and error. We now know how to make it work better,” said Ventura.
For the past month, clubs have sold pre-sale tickets. Clubs receive $5 for each ticket.
“I’ve already sold like 50 tickets so far,” said student Senator Tevita Tapavalu.
Presale tickets ended last Thursday, but more are available for $10 at the door.
Over 100 tickets were sold at the door last year, with the dance earning more than $900.
“Last year, there were over 300 people, which is great because it all goes back to the clubs,” said Ventura.
Money raised from door sales will go toward the ICC Emergency Relief Fund, which is used by the college’s clubs throughout the year for club events or donations for relief causes.
De Anza students and visitors are all invited to come. The dance is semi-formal with a black and silver theme scheme.
The ICC hopes to bring more programs and events like the fall dance to the college.
