Ballroom blitz: Couples compete for the chance to dance in Overture Hall

….Ballroom has a following here at the University of Wisconsin, too. Many of the couples that competed Saturday are members of the UW-Madison Ballroom Dance Association and Badger Ballroom Dance Team, like 26-year-old grad student Karla Esbona. She found the group while looking for an after-class social activity. She danced the merengue and salsa socially in her native Peru, but competitive ballroom was new to her.
