UCSC Ballroom Dance
We are UCSC Ballroom

The UCSC Ballroom Dance Team brings together people of all backgrounds and ages to share their love for dance, and we teach a variety of competitive and social dance styles to students of all levels throughout the year. From Monday night socials to Saturday morning practices, we put countless hours of hard work into our sport so that we can compete in collegiate competitions throughout California. In addition, we share the joy of dance beyond our club through lessons and workshops that are open to the campus and members of the Santa Cruz community. 

As a student-run group, we need your help to continue to bring in professional instructors, allow more students to compete, organize our own competition, and help our team grow and thrive! Typical competition entrance fees are between $20 and $60. Your support is important to our future success. Thank you!
