Lessons occur in our main ballroom with dedicated instructor attention despite concurrent private sessions. This customized approach ensures effective skill development for both singles and couples.
Group Dance Classes
Interactive classes with peers at similar skill levels. Each 40-minute session focuses on weekly dance patterns while developing lead/follow techniques and partner connection. Multiple daily opportunities accommodate various schedules. Group settings foster social interaction while reinforcing fundamental dance skills through collective practice and instructor guidance.

One of the best decisions we've made was to start lessons here with the indefatigable Donna Addison. Very challenging and rewarding as we get incrementally better. Every week we experience the love of dance with fun, sincere people at the ballroom's group lessons and dance parties.
