Hey! I'm Kamil, a proud Matherite studying computational neuroscience and philosophy starting his junior year. Going into college, I was the worst dancer ever barely able to count music in four but after giving a ballroom bootcamp a shot in the beginning of my freshman year, I was hooked and still find dancing with the amazing community at the club one of the only moments I can really detach during the week. Outside of practicing and crying over grant funding, you'll find me listening to Steely Dan, engaging in Mather's house life, diving or around the gyms on campus!

Hey! I'm Ellen and a junior in Quincy House studying Applied Math and AFVS. I did ballet and traditional Chinese dances before college, and I was immediately hooked on ballroom after joining the team my freshman year. Outside of ballroom, you'll find me making 3D animations, going for a run near the Charles, or (more often than not) holed up in the Carpenter Center.

Hi! I'm Mikayla, a sophomore in Pfoho studying Math and Physics. I've been dancing since I was 7, but mainly traditional Chinese dance. However, I've always loved Dancing with the Stars and that led me to experiment with Latin in high school. Coming into college, I knew I had to join ballroom and I've absolutely loved my first year. As your Rookie Captain, I can't wait to watch you guys experience the same magic. Outside of ballroom, you can find me watching a romcom (recs please), getting lost on a long walk, or browsing a bookstore.

My name is Blixa Broussard, I’m a first year studying physics at the college.  HBDT has been my first experience in dancing to any capacity, but it has absolutely sparked a new passion! While I love competing in general, my favorite dances are quickstep and Viennese Waltz!

Hey there! I'm Kitty, a recent ALM Management graduate from the Harvard Extension School. After taking a Bronze-level ballroom class at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), I was committed to ballroom dancing. It led to my research role there, coordinating a grant project that used dance to help youth build social-emotional skills; this included recruiting instructors and securing funding for an annual competition. Seeing the impact of this dancesport made me want to support this community!

Professionally, I've led UX design at companies like Amazon, and I'm excited to apply a design-thinking lens to HBDT's revenue growth and sustainability. Outside of ballroom, you'll find me at the Harvard Innovation Labs, hitting the gym, or munching on local treats (I'm easily bribed with sweets).

Hi! I’m Alexis. I’m a freshman in Matthews interested in studying computer science. I never thought I would be a dancer, but since I started ballroom dancing with the team in the fall, I have loved ballroom ever since. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, crafting, and learning how to code.
