The URI Ballroom Dancing Club offers several classes every week in a variety of dances.
People of all ages - students, faculty, and the outside community are welcome and you don't need a partner to join.
We will usually teach two dances in each class, one Latin
and one Standard, and we rotate partners so everyone gets a chance to dance.
Check the class schedule for full details.
Classes will usually be held in either the Ballroom or Atrium 1 in the Memorial Union
although we will sometimes get moved to another location at the last minute. We'll always try to
e-mail you with advanced notice of room changes but if we're not in Atrium 1 or the Ballroom
ask at the Info Desk in the Memorial Union.
To join a class, simply come to whichever class you'd like to take, there's no
pre-registration required.
If you can't make it the first week for any reason you are more than welcome to join us the following week.
You'll be able to catch up with no problem since we'll be doing a lot of review to get people started.
Each class is $5 for students (any school) and faculty and $10 for community
members. The fee covers you for all six weeks of class. For example, if a
student decides to take Beginner Swing & Waltz, they would pay $5 which covers them for six weeks.
If the student takes two Beginner classes, then it's $10 which will cover the
student for both classes for six weeks.
We will also have information and e-mail sign-up booths in the entrance of the Memorial Union
several days before classes start. Check the
home page for
dates and times and stop by if you'd like to find out more. The club also
sponsors two dances each semester held in the URI Ballroom. The club is a great
way to meet people and have fun while learning how to dance!
