Ballroom Dance at Brigham Young University
|
In 1953 Brigham Young University offered its first social dance class. Since then the Ballroom Dance Program at BYU has rapidly progressed and is now considered the most comprehensive study of ballroom dancing, in a university setting in the world. With seven studios and more than 100 classes taught yearly, students receive instruction and training from beginning to advanced and competitive levels in International Style Latin, Standard Ballroom and Social Dance (American Style). Over 5000 students each year participate in the ballroom dance program, taking part in group classes, dance labs and practice sessions. Students and non students look forward to the dancesport competitions that are held twice a year.
