2026 MIT Ballroom Dance Camp is Here!

Website v2MIT Ballroom Dance Camp 2026

Save the Dates — September 9, 10, and 12

Interested in trying ballroom and Latin dancing? Join the MIT Ballroom Dance Team for our 2026 Dance Camp, a beginner-friendly introduction to the exciting world of ballroom dance.

What exactly is Dance Camp?

Dance Camp is essentially a three-day ballroom crash-course aimed at complete beginners. To attend these classes, no partner is necessary; no experience is necessary and no registration is necessary.  In fact, many members of our team started dancing for the very first time at MIT.

For the first two evenings, you will learn some basic steps from team’s professional coaches. The third day of Dance Camp includes a third and final beginner dance class and – to finish a week’s worth of dancing – a friendly Team Match. It is just like Dancing With the Stars! All the participating newbies will be paired up with one of the current team members (vets) for performance!

Note: You aren’t making any commitment to the team by coming. Just show up in comfortable shoes, skirts or stretchy pants, and be ready to have fun!
