Friday: “Body Heat: 80s Funk Dance Night“
Eighties funk music is arguably the absolute best music for dancing. If that synth doesn’t make you shake your hips, then you’re lying to yourself. This dance party was created by the people that brought you “Hipshaker” at the Kitty Cat Klub, so expect the grooviest of playlists to be played. This is the perfect opportunity to pop some glitter on your cheekbones and break out some classic dad dance moves.

CULTURE TO CONSUME
Make this: Focaccia bread
Homemade focaccia bread is easy to make and has honestly saved me. It’s great for sandwiches, dipping in soups and even making pizza. All you really need is flour, yeast, salt, water and any spices that fit your preferences. There are tons of focaccia recipes online and most of them are quick to make. Just let the dough rise while you’re in class, and it’ll be ready to stick in the oven and enjoy.
Watch this: “Santa Clarita Diet”
