The Caltech Ballroom Dance Club is
pleased to present its fourth annual Dance of the Roses ballroom dance
competition. This competition is open to all collegiate and
non-collegiate amateur level competitors. We welcome all to compete
and/or spectate.
As with last year's competition, we will offer a
complete array of International and American Syllabus and Open events,
an extensive selection of Nightclub dances, a Formation Team event, a
Fun Team Match, and an Amateur Showcase.
This past year has been witness to the elevation of competitive
ballroom dancing to a successful prime time television event with series
such as ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." We hope that the success of
these series will allow us to attract a greater number of spectators
than in previous years so that they may have the pleasure of witnessing
first-hand the intensity of competition.
Caltech is a renowned research institution nestled in the suburban
community of Pasadena, CA. Aside from Caltech, Pasadena features many
other cultural institutes-among them the Rose Bowl, the Tournament of
Roses Parade, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Art Center College of
Design, and the Norton Simon Museum of Art. We are also only minutes
away from the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens
in San Marino, CA.
Pasadena also has a plethora of ethnic cuisine restaurants
concentrated in the Old Pasadena district. Shopping opportunities abound
with stores along the South Lake Ave. District, Paseo Colorado, and Old
Pasadena. |
