RPI Ballroom Dance RPI Ballroom Dance official page Welcome to the official RPI Ballroom Dance page! We welcome all from RPI and the Albany Capital District.

Ballroom dancing is a popular and long time favorite choice of many students at RPI. We are the among the largest student-run organizations at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, offering dancers of all skill levels, from the absolute beginner to the seasoned social dancer, a variety of options to have fun and improve their abilities. We hold various lessons of varying difficulty and practices for all types of dance, including ballroom, Latin, and swing dancing. RPI Ballroom offers club lesson tracks in addition to the competitive Ballroom Team. The Ballroom/Latin Club track has lessons in traditional ballroom dances, like the Waltz and Foxtrot, as well as Latin dances like the Cha Cha and Rumba. You will also have the opportunity to explore nightclub dances like the Hustle, Salsa, and West Coast Swing. The Ballroom Team focuses on a wider and deeper curriculum of dances in both American and International Styles, competing in several regional DanceSport competitions throughout the year. We hope you can join us! Learn more about what we can offer you on our website at ballroom.union.rpi.edu!
