After arriving at the University of Maryland, the GW Ballroom Dancing Team got dressed and prepared for the day ahead.
When the first event began, screams of encouragement erupted from various members of the GW team. As more teammates joined in, the intensity of their screams morphed a presumably calm activity into a competition that was as fierce as the most cutthroat of sports.
The GW teams’ high energy throughout the day captivated judges and other teams alike. By the end of the day, the team had traded their voices for ribbons, winning tens of events in various categories of the competition.
