Come audition for the UMass Ballroom Dance Team!

There is no fee to audition.

 

When and where are tryouts?

The UMass Ballroom Dance Team hosts tryouts a couple of weeks after the beginning of each semester. Tryouts usually occur after one or two of our weekly social lessons so that you can have a preview of what ballroom dancing is like. The time and place of upcoming tryouts will be found at the beginning of each semester on our Instagram and Facebook pages.

​

What dances will I be doing at tryouts?

The dances taught at tryouts are usually two of the same dances taught at the weekly social lessons prior to tryouts.

If you go to the social lessons, you'll have an advantage!

 

What if I've never ballroom danced before?

No problem! We will teach you everything you need to know at tryouts. Upper-level team members will go through the dances you will be trying out with from the beginning, giving you time to practice and ask questions.

 

Do I need to prepare anything for tryouts?

No, you are not expected to prepare anything. Just come ready to dance!

 

What should I wear?

If you have dance shoes, you may wear them. If not, it is perfectly acceptable to wear sneakers or just your socks. Dress at tryouts is casual. Wear whatever is comfortable for you to dance in.

 

How do I find out if I made the team?

Results will be posted on our Facebook and Instagram page shortly after tryouts.
