Attention Harvard students: You are cordially invited to the Dance Party with Pance Party this Friday, Nov. 20, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at…well...yeah…Yale.

It’s not like it’s that much more of a schlep once you’ve already manned up and gone all the way down to New Haven. There won't be any alcohol, but don't lie—you'll probably be drunk already anyway. And admission is FREE.
