Our Mission
The Maryland Latin Dance Club (MLDC) is dedicated to introducing the beauty of Latin dance to the University of Maryland community. It provides a welcoming space where beginner, intermediate, and advanced dancers can come together to learn while meeting others who are equally passionate about Latin dance.
- We offer weekly classes and monthly socials that are completely FREE for current University of Maryland students and open to the public for a small entrance fee. No experience required!
- Our classes are taught by top instructors from the DC area
- By making our classes convenient and affordable for the UMD community, it is our goal to inspire more people to come out and learn about various Latin dances and the Latino culture.
Performance Team
Our student performance team will have a chance to perform at local events, both on and off campus, to showcase the various talents of our club members! Auditions will be held in early Fall semester. More information coming soon.

"When I dance,
I cannot judge,
I cannot hate,
I cannot separate myself from life.
I can only be joyful and whole;
that is why I dance."
