In 2010, we had registration from 472 competitors from 20 schools who have signed up for a total of more than 2150 entries. 

This year, we do it again, with 482 competitors from 22 schools.
 
Each year, the Purdue Ballroom Dance Classic at Purdue University attracts collegiate and adult competitors to W. Lafayette to challenge their skills in front of our nationally ranked and certified judging panel. 

Several hundred spectators are expected to come witness the events, including sometimes the Mayor of West Lafayette, the President of Purdue University, the Journal & Courier, and the Exponent.

Ballroom dancing is booming nationwide, and with the continued exposure of dancing in the media, particularly the team's appearance on Dancing With The Stars, we expect the event to continue to grow. 

For 2010, we expanded our event into a second ballroom in the Union, to provide a staging area for the visiting teams.

Many competitors come to our comp to prepare for the collegiate dance nationals which occur shortly after our event in Ohio, at which the Purdue team has consistently ranked 1st or 2nd place each year. 

We continue to use the same electronic score keeping system which is used at the national event in Ohio, to make results available almost immediately.

Join us at the beautiful Purdue Memorial Union at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN for the annual Purdue University Ballroom Classic! 

You are also invited to join us at the free welcome dance, and the workshops and lessons.
