Dancing With Wolves Team

Who we are

Dancing with Wolves is the Ballroom Dance Club of North Carolina State University. The purpose of our club is to promote ballroom dancing as a team sport and social activity in the University community.

Until 1997, Dancing with Wolves traditionally only had meetings on Wednesday nights where a volunteer provided free instruction for the club. In the past years, our activities have expanded to include lessons four days a week at different levels, including one professional lesson nearly every weekend, and extensive practice times. The club also provides carpools to local social dances on the weekends.

Six years ago, we formed a competitive dance team from our social members. This team consisted of core members of the team that were committed to learning to dance and testing what they learned in competition. Since then, the team has grown into several teams – a Newcomer team, a Bronze team, a Silver team, and an advanced team. In addition to competition, the team members also take the time to teach dance lessons and recruit new dancers.

We travel up and down the East Coast attending dance competitions and workshops. Many of our members place high at competitive events and a few of our members are even ranked Nationally! Our team hosts the Cackalacky Beginner Challenge as well as the Triangle Open.

But competing is not all that we do. We hold free Social Lessons for the community to teach dance to all who attend. All of our members share a love of dance.
