Competitions

The Georgetown University Ballroom Dance Team actively participates in ballroom competitions on the east coast, around the country and sometimes abroad.  The GUBDT board is responsible for organizing participation and subsidizing the cost of at least 2 competitions each semester to make sure that all our members are able to attend.  We also help coordinate details to enable our dancers to participate in competitions which we don't officially sponsor.

Competitions 101

  1. Have fun dancing
  2. Cheering for your teammates is mandatory. If you have a voice at the end of a competition, you weren't cheering enough.
  3. Stay on syllabus.  If invigilated, plead ignorance or talk your way out of it.  or both. (resources: ISTD syllabus, NDCA syllabus)
