Alumni Corner

The nature of competitive ballroom pits our couples against each other on the floor, but our team displays a remarkable unity and a collaborative spirit. We compete against each other but we are still unambiguously a team.

Part of the reason for this collaborative spirit is our dedicated alumni, who continue to work to make our team better. Many college organizations have to search for a new identity every four years as students graduate and move on.  Our team’s alumni have ensured that MITBDT does not have to relearn the same lessons every four years, and we are happy to credit them with our high level of success.
