The script for socials at your studio?

What's the order of events for socials at the studio you go to? Here's ours:
7-8 PM Group lesson
8-9 PM Dancing. Mix of music. Generally a foxtrot mixer is played around 8:15; other than that, no particular order.
9 PM Short break, where the instructors are allowed to sit (otherwise, they are expected to be on the floor all night). Usually, during the break, 1-2 line dance songs are played, then the owner will make a few announcements (birthdays, upcoming events, specials, etc.), and then a drawing for door prizes. This usually takes about 10 minutes. Sometimes there is a spotlight dance or demonstration before general dancing resumes.
9:10-10 PM Dancing.
10 PM Last dance. Regulars usually hang around for a few minutes and help clean up. Lots of conversation wrap-up as people gradually migrate towards the door.
10:30 PM Turn out the lights; the party's over.
Music all night is a mix of ballroom, Latin, swing, and a bit of country.

Similar, although there's no designated break for teachers. They take breaks as needed although, to be honest, I don't see them take a lot of breaks.
What about mixers? Usually,there are at least two a night -- one waltz and one foxtrot. There is such an imbalance of ladies versus gentleman that the mixers give all the ladies a chance to get a least a couple dances, guaranteed.
