Harvard Ballroom Dance Team

HBDT is an undergraduate organization that was created to promote Ballroom and Latin dancing in the Harvard community and represent Harvard to the collegiate and larger ballroom community through outreach and competitions.

No partner or experience necessary!

We have two different programs: our rookie program and vet program. Click below for more details!

Social Events

We are a fun and supportive community, frequently hold social events, and create opportunities for freshman to get to know upperclassmen. In fact, many people find their closest friends on the team! We also host and attend many social dances each semester, so members who do not want to compete have many opportunities to dance in a social setting!

Competitions

With guidance from our professional coaches, HBDT has sharpened its competitive edge. We both compete in local competitions and host our own named Harvard Beginners (in October)! We also compete internationally, in Canada! Our team also maintains a closet of over 70 ballroom costumes so that everyone can compete, regardless of their resources.
