Founded in 2003, the RIT Ballroom Dance Club is a social club sponsored by Student Government that focuses on providing students and interested persons of all skill levels with instruction and the resources necessary to become involved in recreational or competitive ballroom dance. No partner or experience is necessary; our only requirement is that you have fun!

We expose regular members to the majority of traditional ballroom and latin/rhythm dances, primarily providing instruction for waltz, tango, foxtrot, cha-cha, rumba, and east coast swing in both the American and International styles. On occasion, instruction for dances not on our typical syllabus, such as bolero and Viennese waltz, may also be provided.

We're just a small part of a larger community of dance clubs on the RIT campus. Therefore, we encourage our members to experiment with new and different styles of dance in order to improve their individual ability, meet new people, and achieve a more rounded knowledge of dance in general.

We do hope you'll join us. To be added to our mailing list, shoot us an email at
rbdcballroom@gmail.com!

Many of us started right here at RIT in the Wellness program. If you didn't know, RIT Wellness offers beginner ballroom and latin classes (that count toward your graduation requirements!) as well as intermediate classes for more experienced dancers. Dance classes are listed under the course subject WDAN on SIS; trust us, it will be a ton of fun!

RIT Effective Altruism is a club for discussing the foundations and applications of the "Effective Altruism" movement.
The basic premise of Effective Altruism is trying to figure out how to do "the most good".
The movement has a heavy focus on philosophy and research, and generally applying methods of rationality to problems, the most common framework used to assess the importance of an issue is looking at how large, tractable, and neglected it is. We apply ideas from fields ranging from economics to psychology to ethics, to try and solve them.
Effective Altruism is based on the idea that while helping others is good, not all forms of this are equal, and it is morally imperative to use evidence and reason to do good in the best ways possible. This is usually focused on charitable giving, but also relates to career choice, politics, and consumer decisions as well.
While giving your time and resources to one good cause versus another may feel the same to you, there can be a difference in impact on the scale of hundreds or even thousands for some uses versus others.
The biggest specific subareas of interest within Effective Altruism are global health and development, factory farming, and the long term future.
