Learn Ballroom Dancing
Ballroom dancing is the perfect combination of elegance and skill. A timeless dance style that has a place in nearly every environment. When you learn to ballroom dance, you are learning the purest form of dance.
Waltz
Waltz is a classic dance in 3/4 time. Its graceful steps and appearance make it a popular choice for wedding dances. Walz is a great ballroom dance for beginners due to its universal appeal and easy learning curve.
Tango
Tango is a passionate and dramatic ballroom dance known for its sharp movements, close embrace, and intense connection between partners. Originating in Argentina, it's a favorite among dancers who enjoy storytelling through elegant footwork and emotional expression. With that said, it is still a fantastic dance to learn for all skill levels!
Quickstep
Quickstep is a fast-paced and energetic dance, well known in the competitive dance world. If you are not looking to become a competitive dancer, Foxtrot can easily be learned for the enjoyment of the dancer and their partner!
Foxtrot
Foxtrot is the ultimate social dance. Whether you're looking to get out to the club or show off at your cousin's wedding, the foxtrot is a dance for all to know. Not only that, it's a perfect dance for dancers to learn at skill level!
Learn Latin Dancing
Latin dancing has enjoyed a long-standing popularity in the States. Trendy and stylish, yet refined and powerful. Learning to dance a Latin dance shows the world you're ready to step out and show off.
Salsa
Salsa is a high-energy, clubbing dance. Borne in Latin America, Salsa is probably the most well-known Latin dance style we teach. Our students can learn salsa and improve at their own pace with our instructors or in a group setting in our classes.
Cha-Cha-Cha (AKA Cha-Cha)
Cha-Cha is characterized by its displaced beats and accents. Students of all ages and skill levels can learn this fun, Cuban dance or improve their footwork with the help of our staff.
Merengue
Merengue is the Latin dance for any newcomer. Its simple styling and upbeat pacing make it a blast for our students, young or old, to learn, but also for our instructors to teach! We welcome you to join us in a group class or private lessons!
Rumba
Rumba is commonly called the "dance of love" due to its slow and romantic pacing and style. Its relaxed, almost dreamy, pace makes it perfect for beginner Latin dancers to learn and for experienced dancers to master.
Bachata
Bachata is an intimate dance from the Dominican Republic and is a trendy dance for American dancers to learn. Its popularity makes it common for couples to learn to dance together and individuals looking for something new!
Learn Swing Dancing
From Coast to Coast, Swing dancing is one of the smoothest and intense styles of dance. At the same time, its steps are simple enough for any skill level of dancer to pick up and add to their repertoire.
East Coast Swing
East Coast Swing dancing is rooted in Lindy Hop. While faster paced, East Coast is generally seen as a beginner's dance style, and therefore, a nice introduction to the world of American dance.
West Coast Swing
West Coast Swing dancing is slower than its East Coast counterpart, but is what many traditionally think of when they hear the words "swing dancing." Fun and filled with flair, this "slot" dance was designed for what the American West Coast is best known for: cinema! Become the star of the dance floor with our West Coast Swing dancing instructors here in Fredericksburg!
