The Kinesiology Department has threatened to cancel the Tuesday night Ballroom class! The class is one of the most popular electives at UT and has been rapidly growing every semester. The TA's and I have pushed the envelope to over 75 students per semester and plan on having 80+ students in the Fall!
If you are one of the many students who attended or hope to be attending this class in Fall '09 or Spring '10, please sign this petition and save the ballroom class! Attendance is bursting at the seams, so there shouldn't be any reason to close this section.
This class has touched so many students, and has the potential to touch so many more. We are all about giving the best experience to as many as possible while keeping along with tradition, so please help us by signing this petition and writing a testimonial!

- I am writing this note to share with you about how I feel that ballroom dancing is a vital role for the character of the University of Texas at Austin. The reason why I believe this is that ballroom dancing provides people with Charisma and Character. Both which I believe set this University apart from others.

- The ballroom class at UT was one of the highlights of my college experience, and I have since recommended it to everyone I've come across. It gave me new confidence and taught me the value in trying new things. I'd hate for other Longhorns not to have that same experience. Kelvin Pho is a top-notch teacher with a ton of experience, and I know students would gain a lot from his instruction and his enthusiasm for dance. Please, please don't drop this course!

- Kelvin is a fine teacher. I learned everything about Standard from him. He is talented individual that makes dancing fun. He also helps people understand the dance even if they have no sense of rythme.

- This class is an amazing opportunity for students to learn a lifeskill that will stay with them for life. For some it is just an opprortunity to learn the basics, but for many it is the first step that introduces them to a whole new world they may have otherwise not had the opportunity, or nerve to step forward and try. It is also a wonderful, non-conventional social opportunity for hundreds and hundreds of students.

- Ballroom at UT has helped in creating well rounded students who leave this class feeling more confident . It aids not only in coordination, but in quick decision making and fast paced visual learning. Seeing people from beginning to end of Ballroom at UT is an amazing testimony in itself. Most students are only able to take the Tues. night class, making it easily the most popular Ballroom time slot.
