About Us
We are BLAST — Northwestern’s Ballroom, Latin, and Swing Team! We are Northwestern’s competition ballroom team, competing in collegiate Dancesport competitions across the Midwest. We are also a partner-dancing company, hosting lessons, socials, and showcases for the Northwestern and Evanston community. Our goal is to create an inclusive partner-dance community, and we welcome all dancers of all levels to join our events and our group!
