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.

The competition will conclude with an exciting dance by world-renowned champion Latin dancer, Steve Vasco and his partner Joanna. Mr. Vasco was a finalist in the United States Professional Rhythm category, and the winner of the most prestigious Salsa Competition in the world, which is held at the stunning Club Mayan in Los Angeles where he was crowned “Hottest Salsa Dancer.” Mr. Vasco has also choreographed for TV shows, including “Dancing with the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” and he was the choreographer and Principal Dancer for Christopher Caliendo’s “Tango Americano” and the film “Dance with Me”. "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. "There's an impressive amount of talented dancers scattered within our local community," says Christopher Ellwood, founder of the Cal Poly DanceSport Team. "The Mustang Ball competition is unique in that it unifies all of the different styles of dance in one event. This event is very close to my heart and I'm grateful for the growing success and all the community support that we have received thus far."
