UMass Lowell Ballroom Dance Club

We are proud to announce our club schedule for Summer 2009. We have many programs, including Beginner Ballroom Instructional Class, Intermediate Ballroom Instructional Class, and Lowell Community Club. All activities start June 10 and 11, 2009.

Beginner Ballroom Instructional Class

This four-week beginner dance program is designed to introduce you to some popular ballroom dance styles. Up two styles of dance will be covered each week. This class assumes no prior dance experience, and all are welcome. This is the best starting point if you're new to ballroom. No partner needed.

The class will run every Thursday from June 11 through July 2, 6:30-8:00 PM. Register at the CRC Welcome Desk.

Fee per individual:

• Student Members: $25
• Non-Student Members: $40
• Non-Members: $55

Good luck to all competitors!

The second-annual Dancing With the UML Stars went up last night, and it was phenomenal. The club certainly met the challenge of being "bigger and better." Everything was better, from the dancing itself to costumes to lights and sound. Most importantly, the bottom line was better.


The event raised $1,345 for the Relay For Life.


Congratulations to everyone, especially the Stars, their partners, and all of the supporting club members.

This is the schedule for the rest of the Spring 2009 semester. This schedule is for the Sunday lessons, including Student Club and Community Club.

All lessons take place in the Campus Recreation Center.

If you have not danced at all before, we recommend taking the Beginner Instructional Class, which is taught on Thursdays each semester.

Summer Club Practices begin on Wednesday, June 9, 2009

On Sunday, February 22, 2009 UMass Lowell competed at the 8th Annual Boston University Terrier Dancesport Competition.

New for 2009!

UMass Lowell is proud to announce the Community Ballroom Club, allowing anyone in the Lowell area community to take part in the fun and unique club ballroom experience. Members of this club do not have to be associated with the University in any way. All that is required is a love for learning and dancing.

The University has posted some wonderful photographs from the 2008 Dancing With the UML Stars.

Check them out here!

Last Year's Show

This page is about last year's show, which was a great success! Hundreds of people came out on a hot Wednesday night to see their favorite teacher dance, and with them a good sum of money was raised for Relay For Life. The audience voted and here are the results.

Full results are in from the 2008 Tufts Competition, held on December 7, 2008.

Congratulations to Heather, Courtney, Bryan, Ed, and Pam. You represented us well.
