Membership is open to anyone and currently Free for everyone due to uncertain event scheduling. If you are not a student, a membership may be "purchased" (free for Summer 2022) at any of our social dances or lessons. However, we occasionally may have to suspend new non-student memberships for a period of time to ensure that our UW student membership remains above 75%. We are currently accepting non-student memberships.
What does Membership Get You?
Normally, with membership you receive a $6 discount (out of $9) on admission to each dance*, and discounts on weekly lesson series. However, membership is free for Summer 2022 due to event scheduling uncertainties and social dance admission is currently free.
Membership Options
BAM sells several different kinds of memberships that cover various portions of the academic year. Please refer to the following table for prices. The student price applies to anyone with a valid student ID, and is not limited to UW students.
