SO YOU WANT TO BALLROOM DANCE...
Scroll down for some FAQs about the team.
Do I need any experience to join?
Q:
No! Many of our members never ballroom danced (or danced at all) before joining the team.
Do I need a partner?
Q:
Also no! We often rotate partners during practice, and there will always be someone willing to dance with you.
Do I need dance shoes?
Q:
If you're just getting started, you don't necessarily need them. If you're looking to compete or attend practice more frequently, you will want to have a pair.
What should I wear?
Q:
Wear clothes that you are comfortable moving around in - that looks different for everyone. We only require an all-black dress code for our coach practices.
What is the commitment level?
Q:
We welcome all dancers of all levels to participate with us as often as you are able to come. We are students first, and many members have commitments outside of the team. If you desire to compete with the team, it is most beneficial to attend practice(s) so that you have ample time to prepare to dance your best.
But... I really have two left feet.
Q:
Even the professionals had to start somewhere. We'll teach you everything you need to know - about dancing, about competing, and about having fun while you do it! Our newcomer dancers have consistently placed well even after only a semester of learning. Take a chance on something new!
Alright, I'm sold. How do I sign up?
Q:
Wonderful! We are so glad that you'd like to join us. We do not have auditions - come as you are! New members get four free practices before membership dues are required. Check out our schedule page to see more information about practice.
