Our Specialties
Our instructors specialize in social dancing because that's what most people will use in their everyday lives. Many ballroom dance studios focus primarily on formal ballroom dancing, which is designed for competition. However, formal competition style can seem out of place on the social dance floor so that focus on formal styling might not meet your needs. There is a place for both styles and we are here to help you learn either or both styles of dancing, depending on your interest.
