Ballroom Dance Classes

Ballroom dancing is an elegant, classy style of dance with great history. All ballroom dances share some similar characteristics, such as gliding movements and a smooth flow which create a distinctive blend of sophistication and style.

In its early days, ballroom dancing was an activity reserved for the upper class.

The closed hold and closeness of the partners, with the man's arm resting around the woman's waist, was seen by society as completely scandalous. Because of that, people resisted this style at first. Over time, ballroom dancing grew in popularity until it became one of the most popular styles of all time.

Now people from all walks of life enjoy this style and ballroom dancing continues spreading across the world.

Some popular types of Ballroom dance include Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz & Quickstep. We also teach a fun specialty Ballroom dance - Peabody.
