Lessons, Classes, and Performances

Private dance lessons are the best way to begin or continue your dance journey. We have many certified and experienced instructors to fit any student, for individuals and couples. In your private lessons, we cater to the students’ needs, whether the focus is for wedding preparation, social dancing, show performance, or competition. We offer two 30 minute private lessons for $50.00 for beginning dancers. Come and meet your instructor, take a tour of our beautiful historic ballroom, and get started with a few steps.

Group classes are a great way to practice in between your private lessons. We have weekly group classes for any level of dancer. Classes cover many dances including Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba, Swing, Argentine Tango, Salsa, Quickstep, and many others. Please check our calendar for times and difficulty level of our weekly group classes. We are now offering two kids ballroom classes during the week on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.

We host a monthly dance party. This is the time to get out and practice with your friends. Our instructors are there to help and answer questions.  We have dancers come to our parties from all over the area. You do not have to come with a partner. We serve drinks and snacks at every party. Our calendar is up to date through December with party days and times.

We offer two Showcases per year. One in the spring and one in the fall. We are participants from all over, to come and perform. Students perform with another student, or their teacher.
