Schedule
BDC meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. We have two lessons each night, one that teaches more advanced steps and one that is more beginner-friendly. However, everyone is welcome to both regardless of dance experience!
We also have lessons on Fridays that are for competition team members only.
| Class | Time |
|---|---|
| Competition Team Practice | 7:00 – 7:30 pm |
| Beginner Lesson | 7:30 – 8:15 pm |
| Intermediate Technique Lesson | 8:15 – 9:00 pm |
| Social Dance | 9:00 – 9:45 pm |
Members
Your first two lessons are free! After your free lessons, payment for a membership is required to continue attending our lessons.
Full Student Membership
The fee for a student membership is $50 (for students who have paid Student Service Fees). This gives you access to all of our lessons (and the social dance afterwards) on Tuesdays and Thursdays for an entire semester.
Student Service Fees/Non-Student Memberships
Members not paying Student Services Fees are required to purchase a membership to the University’s Recreation and Wellness Center. If you are interested in doing so, please email [email protected] for more information. If you are a student at the University of Minnesota and are unsure if you are paying Student Services Fees, log into your student account and look for Student Services Fees (which will likely be located immediately below tuition).
Waivers
All members must fill out an online waiver before attending lessons, which is available in the links below. Students and staff at the University of Minnesota are required to fill out a UMN Student Participation Waiver; everyone else (including students at other universities) must fill out an Non-UMN Student Participation Waiver. Waivers need to be filled out only once during each school year.
Location
Ballroom Dance Club meets in the University Recreation and Wellness Center, located in the center of campus, and shown in the map below. Lessons are in Multipurpose Rooms 1 and 2, which are just up the stairs on the second floor.
