It has two categories: the Latin America division and the Standard division. The competition is only a demonstration sport; thus, it has no bearing in the overall standing.[3]

In its first competition, seven out of all eight UAAP member-schools joined. University of the Philippines Ballroom Formation Team won both categories.

Categories

This consisted of chacha, rumba, and jive.
