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 afternoon practices, we put countless hours of hard work into our sport so that we can compete in collegiate competitions throughout California.
In 2024, two of our members won events in the collegiate bronze/silver and adult bronze levels at the USA Dance Nationals in Pittsburgh, PA. However, such national competitions have high costs due to the long-distance travel involved, so it is difficult for us to send more than a few of our members. Any donations will help our competitors continue to bring home awards from national competitions!

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!
