Welcome to the newly redesigned RPI Ballroom website!

 

Our organization consists of four groups which together support the dancing community at Rensselaer. We invite you to explore our site and learn more about the Ballroom Club and Team, Swing Club, and Argentine tango.


For more information, just click one of the tabs above to learn more about the lessons and events we have to offer.


NOTE: Our fee structure has changed for this year. For $40 ($60 for non-students), students can take all the lessons offered by the Club, Swing Club, and Argentine tango! Team dues are $25 for the semester and cover a part of competition costs.


 

  • A big thank-you to those who came to our competition on April 12! We're looking forward to holding a bigger, better competition next year.
 

Waltz

The waltz, and especially its closed position, became the example for the creation of many other ballroom dances. Subsequently, new types of waltz have developed, including many folk and several ballroom dances.
