Learn 8 Ballroom Dances

Want to get started in ballroom dance? Just Dance Ballroom’s Absolute Beginner Program is the place to start.

You will learn the basics of the romantic waltz, the gliding foxtrot and the dramatic tango. Next you’ll learn the Rhythm Dances: Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba and the East Coast Swing. We will also teach you Nightclub Two-Step, a great dance for pop ballads.

You will become familiar with the most popular ballroom dances.

The Progressive Series

The Progressive Series gives you an opportunity to learn a dance more in depth. Each month you can begin a new series in different dance. You will learn many dance figures and the character, styling. rhythm and technique of the dance. You will also learn how to lead or follow, to connect with your partner, to combine figures and to navigate the social dance floor. Each week builds on the previous week. The progressive series will give you a good foundation.

A Supportive Learning Environment

Karen and Michael create a safe and supportive environment for you to learn and have fun in. The pace is just right and you will be there with others who are also learning for the first time.

Repeat each series as often as you want, to review your basics or to support a friend you’ve brought along.

Student's Testimonials

I didn’t really believe my husband could dance. But, after the first class with Karen and Michael, we were both dancing and having fun. I can’t wait for the next class.

~ Janet

I like Karen & Michael so much, I have been bringing my friends and family with me too. Karen and Michael can teach ANYONE to dance, because they don’t assume anything, and they explain and demonstrate so clearly.
