Ballroom Team

What is the Ballroom Team?

The Ballroom Team is composed of dedicated dancers of all skill levels. Most members compete in regional collegiate DanceSport competitions and strive to improve continuously. As a result, Team members commit more time to progress their dancing abilities.

Two of the four weekly meetings are split between lessons and open practice. On these days, newer and veteran members receive concurrent lessons suited for their level of experience.

Anyone can join the Team. New members do not need previous experience—only an interest in ballroom dance.

When Do We Practice?

We practice at Academy Hall in the first floor* Student Activities Room on:

• Sunday: Lessons/Open Practice from 3:00pm - 6:00pm
• Tuesday: Lessons/Open Practice from 7:00pm - 10:00pm
• Wednesday: Open Practice from 5:00pm - 7:00pm
• Friday: Open Practice from 5:00pm - 7:00pm

Of course, members do not have to attend every practice or stay for entire durations. Most do not due to personal time constraints; however, as with any skill, advancement only happens with time and dedication.

*The first floor is not to be confused with the ground floor, which is the second floor of the building.

Do I Need a Partner?

No. We do not expect new members, regardless of skill level, to have a partner. It is common for new members to dance with multiple people before settling on a partner. While we offer guidance for new members, especially for the first few competitions, many partnerships naturally occur after some time.
