Dances are the heart of Ballroom Dance Club. Here are the details of each dance event and other related activities. Our dances are almost always preceded by a beginning and intermediate lesson on the thematic dance so everyone can take part in the fun.
Information on our dances will be updated as soon as we can. Thank you.
In compliance with the facilities use charges document at CSUC, the ballroom dance club functions will be continued. However, instead of teaching, practicing and dancing during non-normal business hours (Friday nights), the club will specifically hold their events during normal business hours (Monday-Thursday nights). By doing this, the club can continue to educate, promote, and share the passion of dance with all CSUC students.
Currently, Jolene Barry has been advising the “labs” Monday-Thursday nights. She will continue to advise the labs. In addition, she will also be the advisor to the ballroom dance club because of the similar functions between the labs and the club. By doing this, a greater sense of cohesion amongst the groups can build with the ultimate goal being the university experience of networking and dancing.
Again, we thank all of you for your professional nature and understanding during these new times. We will continue to work with the AS President and the University to see what other options we might have for holding future events during non-normal business hours.

All further Ballroom Dance Club Dances except Ballroom Dance Night are cancelled for the rest of the semester until further notice. We encourage you to go to Studio One's Club Style Ballroom Night.
Dear Club Members,
By now I am certain that you all have heard at least rumors about the changes happening on campus involving all Chico State Clubs. The changes happening will mean that the Ballroom Dance Club will be charged for non-university sanctioned hours; this means that we will be charged in the future for any dances as they are after the official university hours.
Let me start by saying that your officers' are aware that you have concerns and will answer any questions you have provided to which they have the answer. We urge you to come to them with any of those questions or concerns, but we ask that you do not take matters into your own hands. We understand that many of you feel strongly about this issue and will want to help in any way that you can. Right now, the best way for everyone to help will be to write a letter to AS President.
You may contact our AS President London Long at aspresident@csuchico.edu.
Please understand that the officers have many ideas for handling this issue in the future and are already working diligently to find a path that will best work for our Club.
I wish to not only remind everyone of the long tradition that Ballroom Dance has at Chico State and the high standards that are expected of us but also those to which we hold ourselves accountable. In the following weeks please remember that you are a representative of those traditions and standards and act accordingly.
Once again please do not take matters into your own hands; your officers are here to hear your ideas and concerns. We hope to have more information for you soon.
Thank you,
Marrissa Allen
BDC President
Please note these are not BDC dances, so everyone attending must pay any required cover charge.
