Without leaving campus and for less than the price of a movie, students can be transported to a different country Saturday night at the Filipino Fiestang.

The seventh annual Fiestang Filipino, a showcase of Filipino food and dance, will be held Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. in Stepan Center. Admission is $5 for students and $7 for the general public.

According to Jane Ong, president of the event sponsor, the Filipino American Student Organization, the purpose of the evening is to "expose the campus to Filipino culture. A lot of the dances celebrate the simplicity of life and show how much [Filipino people] enjoy doing their work."

The event will feature six dances inspired by different regions of the Philippines. According to Ong, students who participated in Filipino dance troops in their hometowns helped choreograph the dances and provided instruction to others.

In addition to the Filipino dances, there will also be performances by First Class Steppers, the Hawaii Club and Troop ND.

Another feature of the evening is traditional Filipino cuisine. Roast pig, pancit (a noodle dish) and lumpia (eggrolls) will be served.
