Ballroom dance refers to a variety of partner dances across several different styles and speeds. Each dance has its own unique mood, style, appearance, and dance moves. The club regularly participates in collegiate ballroom competitions and helps introduce students to ballroom dancing in a fun and supportive environment. In the podcast, we talk to Ben about how students get involved in ballroom dance, what it's like to compete, and whether Dancing with the Stars gets ballroom dancing right.
