The UAAP Ballroom Formation Competition is a contest on dance sport among member-schools of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. Its first edition was held on 3 September 2016 in UST Quadricentennial Pavilion Arena.[1][2]

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[edit]

Latin American division[edit]

This consisted of chacha, rumba, and jive.

Standard division[edit]

This consisted of waltz, tango, and quickstep.
