Columbia University Ballroom Dance Club
WHO WE ARE
We are the premier ballroom dance organization at Columbia University, and we do everything we can to support our members in their dance journeys.
We offer classes and workshops, practice space, a one-on-one mentorship program, and the opportunity to compete. We are a fun-loving, social group that welcomes all new members — no partner or prior dance experience necessary to join!
OUR MISSION
We believe that anyone, at any age or level of experience, can easily pick up and fall in love with ballroom dance. In fact, many of our current members had never danced a step before joining!
Our mission is to promote ballroom as an exciting competitive art form, an outlet for creative expression, and a gateway to an amazing dance community.
HELP US RUN
We rely on the generous donations of people to help keep our club up and running! In recent years, funding for our club from Columbia has been on a sharp decline, and we are relying on these donations now more than ever before. Monetary gifts are tax-deductible and go towards funding lessons, registration and travel to competitions, as well as for hosting our own home competition, the Big Apple Dancesport Challenge (BADC). If you can, please donate to Ballroom Dance Club Gift to help us continue bringing ballroom dance to Columbia!
OUR PROGRAM
We believe that all of these form a holistic approach to ballroom dance training, enabling every dancer to pick and choose what they need most at any time. Participation in each part of the program is completely voluntary – put in as much time as you wish!
