Why do Ballroom?

• Our goal is to provide students and faculty with
  the opportunity to become prepared for social
  events involving dancing, and encouraging youth
  to get involved in the chance of a lifetime for
  next to nothing.

We promise after one semester you CAN dance to
any song being played!
