UBC Dance Club

So you wanna learn to ballroom dance? Don’t be telling me you’re taking lessons for one reason, and that reason is for that one special day! =P
This is one of, if not the, cheapest way to learn. It is through this club. I first learned here. Then I moved on to the Grand Ballroom for fun only. I already knew how to dance by the time I was dancing a bit at the Grand Ballroom.
No, you don’t have to be a student to join, but UBC students get a discounted price. Also, because this is a student club, registration for a term begins in September only.
Andy and Wendy Wong who run the Grand Ballroom got their start here.
To me, this is the best form of entertainment, dance wise. You go to a «ball», YES, a «BALL»! In a BALLROOM, and you DANCE. Cha-​cha, rhumba, jive, foxtrot, waltz, and etc. The first three are the most popular dances with the top 40 music played on the airwaves today. That’s right, you read that correctly. You can use those three dances on most of today’s top 40, with the exception of rap music.
No, it is not a nightclub nor disco where there is a certain amount of pretentiousness to it, and you shake your body to its heart’s content. There are no mind games between the sexes, such as the bitch shield from women, to the drunken creepy male douche-​bag. Men are gentlemen and women are ladies. Chivalry runs rampant and you behave. Everyone is there for one reason, and one reason only, dancing, and if you’ve never been to a ball, it’s A LOT OF FUN. Everybody dances with everybody. The mindset and vibe is totally different than a nightclub.
As mentioned for my review of the Grand Ballroom, you learn international style standard and latin dances. I’m not going to get into the details of what that is.
BTW, this is a student club, so the members here are a lot different than the members of the Grand Ballroom, from an age demographic standpoint. =)
Guys, if you’re reading this and you know how to dance, you are light years ahead of 99.9% of the male population out there.
