Your Gift Makes a Difference!
At the Mustang Ballroom Dance Club, we focus on providing an environment where our members are able to learn the art of ballroom dancing through practice, competition and social dancing to foster an organization that promotes community on our campus. Mustang Ballroom strives to make SMU a better and more diverse campus by empowering our members on their journey through college, both socially and professionally. By offering a club and team that provides endless support and acceptance, we can promote an environment that enriches the campus experiences for every Mustang. Whether a member is a student of Lyle looking to try a new hobby and make new friends or they are a student of Meadows hoping to gain competitive dance experience and expand their dance sport network, or any school in between, Mustang Ballroom offers a home of inextricable camaraderie. It is our sincere hope that by raising funds through SMU Giving Day, we’ll be able to empower the club and host more events, including events like Dallas-based social dances and regional competition trips that are otherwise difficult to include in our annual budget submissions. Money that doesn’t go toward events also helps provide us with a flexible cash reserve that we can use to obtain costumes/outfits, shoes, makeup and other equipment that then gets loaned out to new members, so that they do not have to put out the money upfront to participate in dance competitions and formal social events.

Our goal is to make ballroom dancing affordable and accessible to all SMU students, which is why we are so grateful to the support from donors like you. With your help, we can continue to provide high-level instruction at minimal cost, bringing ballroom dance to even more people in the SMU community.
