Emory Ballroom offers fun and social dance opportunities for the Emory community. We educate members on the technique and culture associated with various styles of ballroom dance from waltz to chacha and swing. We compete around the US at varsity competitions and our performance group performs at various Emory events. We host themed-balls that are open to all the Emory community and teach two weekly classes. Recently, we've partnered with the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge to provide free lessons every month to their residents and their visitors.
Our fun weekly classes are a fantastic opportunity to join a dance community and meet new people in an accessible, safe and courteous manner. Our ambition is to provide our classes on campus at no charge, keeping ballroom accessible to all students, regardless of financial background. To do this, we require funding for social events, instructor fees, competition registration, and essential equipment. Without external funding, we would have to charge club dues, which often creates barriers for eager students.
By donating, you are helping us to build a welcoming, inclusive dance community where everyone has the opportunity to experience the joys of ballroom dance!
