Team Bio
The Michigan Ballroom Dance Team was originally founded in the fall of 1997 to provide students with an opportunity to compete in intercollegiate ballroom dancing competitions. Since that time, it has transformed into a competitive team, a social organization, and an organization that serves the community. We are a competitive, collegiate ballroom dance team that seeks to share our love of dance by fostering a fun and supportive environment while striving for continuous improvement!
The team currently has around 150 active members, and has won the National Collegiate Championships at the Ohio Star Ball every year since 2005. We owe our success to Steve and Susan McFerran (our professional coaches), Jayme and Kenny Crabtree (providers of practice space), and the countless team members who have made contributions to the team.
The Ballroom Dance Team is a separate entity from the Ballroom Dance Club, which can be found here.
