anyone participated in uc ballroom dancing?

<p>It looks fun. In my opinion now is the best time to start (while in college) and possibly the last best chance to participate...</p>

<p>so current/former participants, want to describe your experience and sway prospective students toward it? :)</p>

<p>How do you sign up for that or other dance classes. I looked through their schedule of classes and I couldn't find it. I think it would be fun to try a class like this out.</p>

<p>The UC Berkeley Ballroom Dancers have social classes, which are listed [url=<a href="http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/%7Eucbd/%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~ucbd/]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;]. They are not part of the physical education department and operate independently. I personally have never tried them, but am hoping to in the upcoming semester.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm up for trying it.</p>

<p>I've never been in this group, but from a general college experience point of view, I would highly recommend trying anything you think you might have any interest in at all. Remember, you can always drop some activities if it's too much, but you should really take every opportunity to try something because as you said, this is likely the last time you'll have such freedom.</p>

<p>yeah i was going to join it, but they require commitment and i didn't know if i had that time commitment, so i didn't join. i joined berkeley quiz bowl club tho....most knowledgeable people (if a bit slightly socially inept) I've met at berkeley thus far</p>

<p>it looks fun, i'd love to learn! salsa too, for sure, amongst others hehe</p>

<p>it looks interesting and I'd love to learn. But I'm in engineering, do you guys think I'll have time?</p>

<p>Quite a few ballroom dancers are EECS majors.</p>

<p>As if they let engineers in.</p>

<p>:rolleyes:</p>

<p>If you make the time, you'll be fine.</p>

<p>So not a real Berkeley course but more like an activity?</p>

<p>Still, sounds like fun. I mean, how can we hit the parties at Berkeley without having taken ballroom? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Hey! This actually sounds fun to me. I was the president of my high school's quiz bowl. I didn't know they still have it in college.</p>
