Upcoming Away Competitions

Traveling to competitions is a fun part of the ballroom team experience. Every year, our team encourages its members to attend away competitions by offering subsidies to members in order to help them afford the expense of the competition. Not only is it a great way for our team members to meet people from other schools and network with them, but it also fosters team relations throughout the Midwest. Below is a list of Annual competitions we send our team members to each year. The dates of these competitions can also be found on our calendar.
