    It’s not just an dance lesson you get with an instructor.[….] When you go and do ballroom dancing, you become so present in that moment with your partner; I don’t see anybody else around me.

We are famous for making learning to dance fun and easy. We teach four simple basic movements from which new combinations are derived.

You will be able to begin dancing after your first lesson. The length of your training depends upon how many dances you would like to learn and how proficient you would like to become in each dance.

​​It totally depends on how quickly you learn, how good you’d like to become, and how many dances you’d like to learn. Just to learn a few basics only takes a handful of lessons. To be comfortable dancing to any music with any partner, that takes about 6 months to a year. After your first lesson, your instructor will be able to recommend the quickest way to get to your dancing goals.

You can learn the steps in any or all social and nightclub dances: Swing, Samba, Merengue, Rumba, Cha Cha, Mambo, Tango, Waltz, Fox Trot, Country and more

Pretty much everything. Partnered dancing can be done to Big Band, Latin, 80’s, Top 40, Classic Rock ‘N Roll, Bossa Nova, Motown, Disco, Country Western, etc. If there is a beat, you can learn to dance to it! Check out our What We Teach page for more info.
