Cornell Ballroom Club

09/25/2022

Hi everyone, unfortunately due to a lack of interest in e-board, the Cornell Ballroom Club will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future.

For those of you that are Cornell affiliated, the Cornell Dancesport Team is opening up to beginners and they are no longer mandating competing as a part of our policy, so if you are interested in ballroom dance at Cornell, feel free to dm the Dancesport team instagram () and send them your netID so they can add you to the mailing list and get you involved in their weekly practices.

Unfortunately, Dancesport is currently limited to only Cornell students. We hope to restart the Ballroom Club in the future, by recruiting members from the Dancesport team to take on leadership roles in Ballroom Club, and will reopen to the public once that transition is complete. Please reach out if you have any questions, we will do our best to address them.

We want to thank everyone who came out tonight, and hopefully you enjoyed it as much as we did! It was wonderful seeing all the dancers, from veterans to newbies, all trying out some new moves on the dance floor. Also special thanks to the volunteers who helped set everything up and made the magic happen - we couldn't have done it without you! All in all tonight was perfect, and thanks again to all who came.

Also, if you liked what you saw today, be sure to come by our weekly workshops where we teach all sorts of ballroom dances, from waltz to tango to swing! We meet every Thursday from 5:00-7:00 pm in the Willard Straight Hall 5th floor dance studio. We divide every workshop into 2 dances in mini-series, so that by the end of each series you'll have learned plenty of new moves to show off for 2 different dances! This week we'll be focusing on swing and waltz. And just like the social, we welcome anybody and everybody to come, whether you're a Cornell student or not! We hope to see you there!
