Ballroom Dance Beginner Lessons

Join us for our beginner lessons! We teach you how to waltz, tango, cha-cha, and much more! It doesn't matter if you've never danced; if you're interested in learning, please join! Don't worry if you don't have a partner either, we make sure no one dances alone. You are welcome to join at any point during the year and still gain a good understanding of what’s happening. Don’t worry if you’ve never danced before because this is geared toward absolute beginners. All you need is a pair of socks and yourself!

Tuesday Lessons: These lessons focus on learning to dance with another individual and the basics of moving around the social dance floor. We alternate styles on Tuesday each week, beginning with Latin dancing such as cha-cha, rumba, and swing and switching to smooth, which is more the waltz and tango dances. The lesson goes from 7 to 8 p.m., and we leave time for dancers to practice social dancing on their own from 8 to 9 p.m.

Wednesday Lessons: The Wednesday lessons will begin with a Latin-style dance lesson from 7 to 8 p.m. and a standard-style lesson from 8 to 9 p.m. These lessons focus more on technique and learning how to move your body. They will be beginner-friendly but get a little bit harder as time goes on.

After the dues deadline, they are members-only, so please make sure to talk to a council member if you want to try it out!
