BYU Ballroom Dancing was a Hit at CSULB

Internationally known BYU Ballroom Dance Company presented their picture perfect show CaptureThe Magic with harrowing lifts and fast spins at Cal State University Long Beach Saturday with flying colors.


You may shrug at ballroom dancing, which is usually considered upper class, but you’d definitely be in awe if you attended a show presented by BYU Ballroom Dance Company. The male and female dancers managed to keep their smiles on during the entire dynamic show, and even enlightened the show with a 1950s dance part seen in the film Hairspray starred by Zac Efron.

During the Hairspray part, it was humorous when the females lifted the man spraying his hair.
Foxtrot, west coast swing, salsa, tango, rumba, waltz, samba and cha cha were some of the dances seen in this amazing energetic show. The dancers could easily move the showcase very smoothly between elegant formation routines, basic ballroom steps and fast-paced rhythmic pieces. They even included Latin-style dance routines.
