The Claremont Colleges Ballroom Dance Company

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Dancing with the Claremont Stars is inspired by the hit show Dancing with the Stars, in which celebrities are paired with professional ballroom dancers who compete together throughout the series for the championship title. The show is based on the BBC TV series Strictly Come Dancing, and has had numerous international spin-offs in other countries.

The Claremont Colleges Ballroom Dance Company (CCBDC) hopes to create a fun and inspirational program based on the similar ideas of dance and community. The celebrities in our version are Claremont Colleges professionals (faculty, staff and administration) and will be paired with advanced student dancers from CCBDC. After a series of individual lessons and coaching, the pairs (consisting of one “celebrity” and one student “professional”) will participate in the grand showcase and competition on Friday, December 1, 2006, in the Edmunds Ballroom on the Pomona College campus.
