<p>My daughter has been accepted to RPI, and loves "dance". She's been a dance student since age 3, and currently dances 1-3 hours/day in our local dance studio 6 days/wk. When we visited RPI last April, we took a tour of EMPAC - really nice place. Question - do students have access to EMPAC or another facility for dance club, practice, performances? We're trying to figure out if she can continue her main leisure activity while at school.</p>
<p>I know RPI has a decently-sized ballroom club, link here: [RPI</a> Ballroom Dance | ballroom.union.rpi.edu | The home of RPI’s ballroom dancing community.](<a href=“RPI Ballroom Dance | ballroom.union.rpi.edu | The home of RPI's ballroom dancing community.”>http://ballroom.union.rpi.edu/) . Perhaps someone on that can comment? If no one answers within a couple of days, I’ll try pinging my former roommate who was on it for a few years.</p>
<p>Cesium55 - thanks for the pointer. I’ll check it out. I hope you’ll transition to caesium-133 for stability’s sake.</p>
<p>No problem. I’m somewhat surprised no one from Ballroom has commented yet, since there were a fair number of people involved in the club.</p>

neutron-free since 2006.
I am the ~0%.</p>
<p>The Ballroom team meets like 5 days a week for an hour or two each night. It was way too active for me to do well in, but if that is what your daughter is used to she will probably really enjoy it.</p>
<p>I was involved in it mostly during my freshman year.</p>
<p>My daughter takes balet, point, jazz, hiphop, lyrical. She’s also in the performance company, although not competitive whatsoever (the kids do it for fun). Anything along those lines available? I just asked her, and ballroom isn’t on her list.</p>
<p>They have a breakdance club there. Not sure how much hip hop is incorporated into the breakdancing.</p>
