Hey everyone!
It was so great to see everyone at Tryouts today! I’m so proud of all of you and I can’t wait to watch you grow through the rest of the semester. This is our first normal, i.e. post-recruitment week of the semester, which means that this is the first Week At a Glance (WAG) many of you have received. I’ve attached the gist of the message in the email version, but a more full schedule is attached to the blog post on our website here.
- Newcomer Lessons – Newcomer lessons will continue in the IMSB Multipurpose Room A on Sundays from 3-5pm and Thursdays from 9-11pm.
- Tryouts Results – Tryouts results have been sent out and lessons will start THIS WEEK
- Student Arts Org Fair – We will be flyering at the Student Arts Org Fair this Friday, 9/26, from 2-4:30pm on the Diag. Stop by our table and say hi! And even flyer a bit with us if you’re interested in getting even more new members involved in the team.
- Competition Interest Form – If you are interested in competing this semester, please fill out the MBDT Fall 25 Competition Interest Form! This is just to get a rough estimate of attendance, so even if you aren’t 100% sure, still fill it out!

Fill out your information in the partner search form right here and make sure you come to the event! You will have the opportunity to meet other unpartnered folks and get more acquainted with your teammates.

They’ll be showcasing some of their beautiful, graceful moves as well! There will be other Bridgerton themed activities too, so be sure to check it out! More info here.
