Summer Beginner Ballroom Class will be starting soon!

Yes, we are running a summer edition of our popular Beginner Ballroom class. Stay tuned for the dates! The class will take place at the Campus Recreation Center in Lowell, and will be six weeks, one night per week.

The Ballroom Dance Club will bring TV to UMass Lowell reality with the first-ever Dancing with the UML Stars. On Wednesday, April 23 at 7 p.m., 12 faculty and staff members will pair with club veterans and perform the six major ballroom dances in the Cumnock Hall Auditorium. The event is free to students and all the proceeds will go to UML’s Relay for Life.
