It starts with YOU!  

Every year, we recruit hundreds of students who want learn how to ballroom dance. Most of the people who join have no dancing experience. The team, along with our professional coaches, will teach you to dance from the very first step. You don't need a partner to start.

You’ll be part of a team that offers scholarships, reaches out to the community, and wins inter-collegiate competitions throughout the year. Come join us at any of our practices or free lessons and find out more about the team!

DANCE THEATRE STUDIO is the home of our team. Monday through Thursday, our team practices and trains our newcomers at this convenient local studio. We encourage anyone interested in joining to stop by and meet the team. It's here that brand-new team members become awesome dancers - even if they have 3 left feet.  MAP

Newcomer lessons are held every Saturday at the CCRB from 4:30-6:30pm throughout the Fall and Winter Semesters. These lessons are taught by our world-class coaches Steve and Susan McFerran.

The team also practices in the CCRB from 2:30-4:30pm on Saturday afternoons (directly before Newcomer lessons), so take a break from academics and come dance! No partner or experience needed!

The Ballroom Dance Club at the University of Michigan is a social club available to the entire Ann Arbor community, whereas the team is restricted to students only. By joining the team, you automatically get a free membership to the Club. The Club provides extra lessons and a weekly open dance on Sundays in one of the beautiful ballrooms on campus, at either the Michigan Union or the League. Open dance is a great opportunity to not only meet new friends, but to put everything you've learned in the team's lessons into practice and dance with team members of all levels.

For experienced dancers, the team's lessons are taught at the Jazzercise studio by our coaches, Steve and Susan McFerran. For more information on the structure of the team, click here.
