About Ballroom

We offer group classes for beginning, intermediate, and advanced level dancers. Our group classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays.

Check out our calendar page to see which classes are happening this weekend!

Group classes are designed to teach basic technique, lead-follow skills, and musicality. They are available to everyone, although instructor permission is required for advanced group classes. The classes focus on repetition as a means of learning both the pattern and improving balance, coordination, and leading/following skills. Leading and following skills allow you to dance with confidence in a social dance setting.

Although group classes are designed to be taken in a series, it is not always possible to attend every class. Every week we review material from the previous weeks before learning new figures. This ensures that new students or students that missed a previous week are not left behind. The class’s learning speed depends on the size of the class and the skill levels of its participants.

Beginning group classes cost $7 per person if you pre-pay for the entire series or $9 to drop-in to an individual class. Intermediate group classes are $9 pre-paid or $11 for drop-ins and advanced classes are $11 per person pre-paid or $13 for drop-ins. Beginning group class rates for students are $5 per class if you pre-pay and $7 for a drop-in.
