BADC:
This February we are attending the Big Apple Dancesport Challenge (BADC),
which is hosted by Columbia University in New York City! This competition
will take place during the weekend of February 14-16, and we are so excited
to see all of you there. Please sign up if you’d like to join us! Regular
registration closed last week but you can still register late until Monday,
February 3rd. Please register as soon as possible so that we can arrange
housing and travel arrangements for you.

Exciting news! Thanks to donations made by CMUBDC alumni on Giving CMU Day, we
are able to reduce the registration fees for BADC. If you signed up by the
Wednesday deadline, you owe $30 for 3+ entries as a student. Non-students
pay $60 for 3+ entries. If you register late, the fees increase to $50 and
$75 respectively. BADC fees are due Wednesday, February 12th.
