What is Media Day? Media Day is a fun, organized, and exciting way for Ballroom Dance Club to film content for our social media! About once a month BDC invites all club members to join us for a day of filming tiktoks, reels, trends, advertisements, and anything you can think of! Have a day filled with meeting and connecting with fellow dancers, starring in BDC content, and eating free donut holes provided by the club!

Wear regular clothes you are comfortable dancing in! If possible please also bring black athletic clothing for a few more professional style videos but it’s not necessary!

Can’t make it the whole time? That’s okay! Come and join us for a few hours, or the whole scheduled day and be in as many or as few content pieces as you please!

At the Recwell center, meet outside room mp1/2
