More  than 15 collegiate teams and DanceSport athletes from all over California have been  invited to compete at what is one of the largest annual dance competitions in San  Luis Obispo county. The Mustang Ball will include the talents of both local and visiting DanceSport  athletes in the International and American Style Ballroom Dances. There are also  events for nightclub dances such as Salsa, Hustle, Argentine Tango, and Lindy Hop  Swing, as well as a formation team competition, collegiate team match, and other  special performances. Additionally, an award of $500 in scholarships will be given to  each of the winning couples in six different levels of competition, ranging from  newcomer to the highest "open-level" competitors.

"I’m excited to be a part of this year’s  Mustang Ball, and am especially looking forward to seeing the local talent on the Central Coast,” commented Mr. Vasco.  The Cal Poly DanceSport Team is building on the success of their previous three competitions to what is expected to be the largest  competition to date.
