The team did very well at the SJSU Ballroom Classic. Congratulations to our team members and alumni who competed: Ali Hammond, Ben Lin, Marie Grap, Colin Keane, Christopher Ellwood, Julia de Moor, Amy Leung, and Khoa Nguyen.

We also enjoyed seeing some of our alumni, who came to compete and support the team. We love you guys!
As always, the competition itself was an enjoyable experience. There were many great dancers and plenty of inspiration to continue dancing and improving. Thanks for showing us a good time SJSU!
