A few quick facts about the team
- We are a mix of students and community members (mostly students), who dance Ballroom dances: Standard, Smooth, Latin, and Rhythm. Collectively, these four styles of competitive partner dancing are called “DanceSport.”
- In addition to our classes taught by Alex Tecza and Kato Lindholm, we have regular dance practices and social events throughout the semester.
- We also travel around the Midwest to participate in competitions with other university ballroom teams.
