Do I need previous dance experience?
Nope! Our beginner lessons are designed to teach you to dance starting from the ground up. If you have dance experience and are interested in attending the intermediate lessons, you can schedule an evaluation.
Are there other ways I can get involved with the club without joining the competition team?
Yes! We have monthly social dances where we teach an hour lesson in two different styles of dance and have a couple of hours of
social dancing afterwards to practice your new skills! These social dances are completely free and open to all! No partner or
prior experience required!
Do I need a partner to try out for the comp team?
Nope! If you make the team, we will match you with a partner based on different factors and preferences.
Do I need a partner to attend the lessons at the social dances?
Nope! We rotate partners throughout the lessons, and most everyone does not come in with a partner for our social
dances. Dancing with different people is a way to learn and improve your skills!
What should I wear to social dances?
Clothes that are easy for you to move in. We don't require formal attire, but feel free to dress up or dress to the theme for the
event.
Do I have to be a paying member to go to the monthly social dances?
Nope! Everyone is invited to our social dances (parents, non-GT students and friends, etc.), and entry is free for all!
Who can be part of the competition team?
The competition team is limited to Georgia Tech students because we attend collegiate competitions. However, there are many
other great ballroom opportunities in the Atlanta community! Send us an email if you need help connecting!
What is the time commitment for competition team?
Competition team members are expected to attend two hours of practice a week and at least one competition a semester. Additional
practice time is up to that team member and their partner, so you can practice as much or as little as you would like!
