FAQs

The first step is to come to our classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 pm and see if you might be interested in ballroom dancing. The best time to join the team is the beginning of the school year since we learn a lot quite quickly. However, if you would like to join the team mid-semester, you can get caught up by attending optional practices and reaching out for extra help. 

No, you do not need any prior experience! The coaches welcome and teach anyone who is willing to join, although it helps to have any of these attributes: a sense of rhythm, the ability to learn steps quickly, body awareness, and an open and flexible mind set.

We welcome everybody that wants to join, whether or not there are more leads or follows. There are no auditions or try outs to join, and anyone from any major are welcome. 

We’d love to have you join us! Send us an email at mustangballroom@outlook.com with your background information, and we’ll get back to you about attending one of our practices.

Practices are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-9:30 PM. Tuesdays are our beginner days, with Tuesday A's being Country lessons from 7:30-9:30, and Tuesday B's being Beginner Standard from 7:30-8:30, and Beginner Latin from 8:30-9:30. Thursday are our intermediate lessons with Intermediate Standard 7:30-8:30 and Intermediate Latin 8:30-9:30.  Practices have a casual atmosphere that helps beginners learn and keep up with other members who may have had prior dance experience.

Make sure to wear something comfortable that doesn't restrict your movement. If you don't have dance shoes, socks are preferable. Tennis shoes and sandals are not recommended. A water bottle is always a good idea, and bring your SMU ID to scan into the Dedman Rec. Center.
