Is collegiate ballroom dying?
So I go to a big state school, last year our ballroom club recruited lots of people. Our first club we literally filled up the entire college gym and we retained a lot of people from that for the first couple of months. We recruited more than a dozen people that semester and it was the biggest our club has ever been. The next semester towards the later end especially we started to see a lot lower turnout.
This year has been a disaster. We lost literally 2/3 of the club who graduated last year, a lot of the remaining people from last year have basically quit the club, and our remaining people from last year are giving up/quitting soon as well.
The club honestly feels dead. The discord used to be so lively and now nobody posts anymore. The socials have lower turnout from the alumni who seem to be giving up as well. A neighborhing school that we're close with ballroom club has also died. We may have like another year left at this point before we're done. Is this a growing issue at other colleges?
