Riley is turning 33, so the night will be 33% self indulgent! That means Riley will teach whatever the heck they think would be fun for 1/3 of the classes (L4, specifically) and every third social dance will be a song they like that isn't played for WCS otherwise (the other two songs in each mini set will be right down center plate common WCS songs).
