We are the MIT Ballroom Dance Team, an organization of MIT students and affiliates who love competitive Ballroom Dancing. We help our members improve their dancing skill and support their participation in DanceSport competitions. Practice We have about 10 hours of professionally taught lessons each week, plus supervised practice time, and amatuer lessons from the veterans on our team.
Most members also practice privately with their partners.
Competitions Team members are expected to participate in at least two competitions each semester, and most choose to attend even more. Most of these competitions are held in the New England Area by other colleges and universities. We host our annual competition in the spring. We organize professionally taught beginner and intermediate workshops, as well as about three funraiser dances per year. All events are open to the whole MIT community and non-MIT dancers.
