DUES

If you pay the dues as specified below, you get access to instruction from New York’s best instructors - and if you pay for dues, you’ll pay at most $8 a class if you attend every class, even less if you sign up for multiple tracks! Moreover, paying dues entitles you to use some of Columbia’s very coveted dance practice spaces without having to worry about reservations. Other benefits of paying dues and being a full member of our club:

 

• Get competition registration for team competitions covered - that's around $40-50 per competition you won't have to pay!

• Get half of travel for team competitions covered - around $25-30 per competition!

• Be eligible to join our mentorship program - a unique opportunity to work with an upper-level dancer each week at no additional cost

• Get access to team apparel and discounts to minimize (optional) costs for ballroom supplies such as dance shoes or competition wear

• Come to fun ballroom events + preparatory workshops

 

**Open level dancers who join as mentors will not have to pay dues to the club, and will get full travel expenses to and from team competitions covered (in addition to the already covered competition fees).**

 

Dues Collection: Every year, we collect dues for two weeks during classes. During those weeks, we ask that everyone please come 15-20 minutes early to class, bring ID (student ID if you have it), and come with cash or a check (cash preferred). If you do not want to pay full dues the first week of dues collection, you can pay $10 trial fee per class you attend. The second week, however, you will have to pay full dues. If paying dues is a significant financial hurdle for you, please email us to set up at time to talk with our treasurer.
