Welcome to Big Dance 2018.

Witches and Wizards (and Muggles), the Yule Ball doesn't even hold a candle to this event—

—welcome to Big Dance 2018.

Newt Scamander's collection of exotic creatures is on the loose. Fortunately, they've all flocked to Roble Gym, where you can catch a Niffler relishing the glittering lights and darting between dancers during the waltz, and find bowtruckles clinging to pocket squares as they fly about the room.

—and if the Erumpet turns up, still in heat (yikes), the surefire way to tame it is by dancing, and we'll be doing it from dusk till dawn.

Please explore this website to learn more about this epic all-night Stanford dance tradition, and join the Big Dance event on Facebook to stay up to date!
