The all-day competition will take place on Saturday, March 27 at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre and feature the top dance teams from Universities and Colleges across Ontario competing against one another in a variety of dance styles.

B.A.M. was started in 2008 by members of the UOIT Dance Company, which has now become a varsity program at UOIT. Organizers of the event are excited for this year's competition with some of the best dancers across the country confirmed to attend from 15 schools (114 entries in total).

Admission is free for students with a valid ID card. For non-students attending the event, the admission price is either $5.00 or a donation to the campus food drive.

This event is guaranteed to have those in attendance dancing to the beat of their great routines. The dance styles will include jazz, lyrical, contemporary, tap, hip-hop and much more.
