We teach the American style of Ballroom, including Foxtrot, Waltz, Contemporary Slow Dancing, and Tango. We also teach Swing, Salsa, and many other popular Latin Styles.

Foxtrot, which is the most popular Ballroom dance, has been around since the days of vaudeville. It's a great dance for the beginner because of its easy step patterns and moderate tempo. It is danced to big band music as well as Frank Sinatra style tunes, and is especially popular at weddings and social events.

Waltz is danced all over the world. It was introduced in the Royal Courts of Europe and at one time was considered sinful because the dancers embraced one another. Waltz has a distinctive tempo of 3 beats to a measure. It is also very popular at weddings and anniversary parties, as well as other formal social events.

There are different styles of Tango. We teach the American style in our beginning ballroom class. This style is popularized in American movies like “Scent of a Woman.”

Contemporary Slow Dancing is a style most likely used for really slow romantic songs. Instead of just rocking back and forth, we give you style and form without losing the romance!

SWING is a carefree and joyous dance that became popular in the 1940's. It is danced to up-tempo music from Tommy Dorsey, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis’ 50's style rock and roll. It's also great for dancing to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's music. Swing is so versatile you can even dance to motown jive of the 70’s and 80’s. Whatever your music tastes are...swingin’ is the way to go!

Salsa is an upbeat Latin dance that is easy to learn! It evolved in the 70's when dancers started to mix Mambo, a popular Latin dance from the 40's and 50's, with the exciting and quick turning patterns of the Hustle, a 70's disco dance. Salsa is very popular in Los Angeles and there are lots of nightclubs where you can go dancing. We also teach Meringue and Cha Cha as part of the Salsa curriculum.

Rumba is a slow, romantic, and simple dance. It originated in Cuba in the 1940's and is inspired by African rhythms and Latin melodies.

Tango is a sensual dance which originated in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the 1920's and 30's, it traveled across the ocean to the elegant salons of Paris and also became popular among Bohemians in the United States.
