Here is an introduction to the Ballroom dances...

Smooth Ballroom refers to the "traveling" dances: Waltz, Foxtrot, American Tango, & Viennese Waltz. It does not include "spot" dances, which don't travel, like Swing. The dancing of Fred Astaire is one of the most well-known examples of Smooth Ballroom. Smooth Latin Dances (such as Cha Cha; Merengue; Rumba; etc.) are also taught within our program or in private lessons with our talented instructors.

We have added COUPLES ONLY dance samplers to our roster of Ballroom classes. These classes allow couples to remain together throughout the class, suspending our usual rotation of partners. Offered are classes in the traditional Smooth dances, Foxtrot/Waltz, as well as the fun Salsa/Swing, and the sensual Argentine Tango.
