Liikunta Ball
Almost all student associations have an annual formal event in which the past year and student association is celebrated. At Liikunta the event is called Liikunta Ball which in many ways is different from another associations' parties. For example a long dinner table, songs or napkin hats won't be found in this event however there will be a lot of entertainment.
Liikunta Ball gathers all Liikunta students, staff and guests to celeberate the past year and our won association Sporticus. The night is filled with many beautiful programmes, music, delicious food and most importantly amazing company.
Who organizes the event?
Briefly: We all do!
The main organizer for this event is the 4th year students but all classes participate in the organizing. The tasks will be given by the "mamma" and "pappa" of each class.
Programme
The biggest difference from other formal association parties is that at the Liikunta Ball all classes have their own performance. The performance will be presented at the main stage to all of the guests at the event.
The planning for the performance is good to start early and latest at the start of the autumn semester. It is also important to take into account the nature of the event and be respectful. The guests at the event are not only your fellow students but also staff and honoured invited guests. At best you'll get to experience both joy and tears from the touching performance.
If you want to participate in your class' performance or do your own for example with international students, please contact us!
Dress code
For the past years the dress code has been dark suit / lounge suit / business suit. You can choose to wear a night gown of any color or a dark suit. The suit doesn't have to be a tuxedo, just a regular suit is enough.
The dress code for Liikunta Ball is quite flexible and you can also use the theme of the event in your outfit.
If you don't have a formal outfit with you in Finland, don't worry! Many students sell or borrow their dresses so you can ask for a dress from some of the finnish students. You can also rent a dress or a suit from a shop just for one night. This event is the highlight of the autumn semester so don't let the dress code become a problem, there are options!!
NOTE! This dress code is only for our event. If you are going to another association's event please dress according to their dress code.
