We meet weekly on Thursday evenings and have various performances throughout the semester. We are excited to share our music and bring entertainment and art to the UVA community. 

The Ballroom Dance Club at the University of Virginia is a contracted independent organization (CIO) and a club sport at UVA. The club seeks to promote ballroom dancing on and off Grounds, socially and competitively. Membership is open to all students, faculty, and staff of the University, regardless of prior dance experience. The Ballroom Dance Club at UVA offers lessons in ballroom dancing ranging from beginner lessons to advanced technique. Our primary instructor, Lee Santos, is a professional who has won multiple national ballroom dancing championships. Throughout the year, students can learn over 16 dances, in standard, Latin, rhythm, and smooth styles. The club hosts a series of social dances throughout the year, travels to five or more DanceSport competitions to face off against dancers from other schools across the country, and holds a showcase of dancing with student-generated and performed routines. We are always looking for new members to join us! 

As a journal of Christian thought at the University of Virginia, we seek to provide a space for spiritual conversation on Grounds in an interdenominational and interdisciplinary forum. The journal is intended to curate an open conversation characterized by thoughtful cultural engagement. We seek to live out God’s abundant love for the world through exploration of our own lives and the life of the world itself. We hope to create in this journal a space both to reflect on the deeper holiness of life in the midst of a competitive, fast-paced student culture, and to explore our sense of vocation as students, to see where the world is calling to sow the seeds of reinvention and reexamination to bear the fruit of resurrection life. The university is a space for getting one’s bearings, and this journal intends to take seriously the beauty in the very process of understanding the past, questioning the present, pushing towards the future, and bearing with each other in love. We are a member of the Augustine Collective, a national independent network of Christian journals on college campuses, and will accept submissions from any U.Va. undergraduate or graduate students writing on matters of Christian faith and related questions.
