Students: Join Talent Show/Dance Contest!

Love to sing, dance or play music? Western Nevada College's Latino Club is hosting a fund-raising event on Friday, Sept. 19, that brings students and the community together in an evening of performance. The WNC Talent Show & Dance Contest begins at 6 p.m. in Sarah Winnemucca Hall on the Carson City Campus.

Signups and auditions are allowed through Monday, Sept. 15. Both students and community members are welcome.

Talent show auditioners will be allowed two minutes each to preview their act. Contestants for the dance contest will need to sign up and pay a $20 entry fee per couple, which will help offset cash prizes to top dancers. They will also be asked to choose a category of music for their dance. Choices will include reggaeton/hip-hop, salsa/merengue, or cumbia/duranguense.

Admission cost is $3 for adults, $2 for children, and $1 for WNC students with ID card. Refreshments will be available.

To sign up or for more information, call Lupe Ramirez at 445-3344 or e-mail lramirez@wnc.edu.
