Dear Dancers,

The Harvard Ballroom Dance Team is thrilled to remind you that we have officially entered the final two weeks of registration for the 29th Harvard Invitational! We are incredibly excited to bring this competition back to our roster after a long break, and we have a fantastic weekend planned for you. Some of the exciting features waiting for you include:

The return of the Hanlon-Ford Gala, complete with social dancing and a cash bar
Professional stage lighting for all Saturday Open events
Trophies for all Open style first-place winners

While we are no longer hosting a separate Harvard Beginners event, our commitment to welcoming and supporting the newest dancers in our community remains as strong as ever. We hope to see many of you join us on Sunday for our full syllabus day to cheer them on! You can also look forward to several beloved traditions from past years, including:

The Rookie-Vet dance
A completely free professional showcase, featuring dancers who have ranked highly in both Blackpool and WDC championships!

You can find more information about the upcoming weekend on our competition website (harvardballroom.org/invitational). If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor at the 29th Harvard Invitational!
