Ballroom Dancing San Diego

Ballroom dance has been around for years and now with the return of Dancing with the Stars more and more people are becoming interested in finding out what the excitement is all about. At our school, there are students of all ages enjoying the benefits of dancing. It's not uncommon to see an 8 year old dancing with an 80 year old, when you know the basic steps to any of the ballroom dances' age makes no difference. Not only for the social grace they are learning but also it's great cardiovascular exercise. When given the choice of going to the gym and getting on the treadmill or coming to the studio and dancing like Fred Astaire most people are going to choose the dance studio.

The social benefit of coming to group classes is another reason people are flocking to the studio. It is a great way to meet new people and a fun place to bring your friends to try out a new class.

It's always nerve racking to try something new but once you get in the door you won't regret it. Our studio offers the best ballroom dancing in San Diego.

If you are a beginner and aren't sure what dances you want to try the Intro to Ballroom dance class is definitely for you.

The 5 week course starts October 6th and covers the basics of five of the popular ballroom dances including: Tango, Waltz, Swing, Cha Cha, and Foxtrot. Better yet if you pre-register it's only $50 a savings of $25.

Don't be shy, don't hesitate call the studio to reserve your spot today!

I Take Private Dance Lessons...

Private lessons are ABSOLUTELY the most effective and efficient way to learn ballroom dancing. The one on one instruction between a professional instructor and student is the BEST way to produce results and enhance all aspects of ballroom dancing! Not everyone learns the same way. For that reason, your instructor will find the most suitable way to teach YOU the dances YOU want to learn and at YOUR own pace. Please do not hesitate to call us at (858) 451-3775 with any questions that you might have. Our friendly Front Desk Staff will have you out on the dance floor 1, 2, three!

Improve your Dancing...Start Competing Today!

Competing is a great way to set concrete goals, to motivate you to improve quickly, and to apply your knowledge. The main value in competition is not in being compared with other dancers but in the improvement in your dancing that leads up to the competition and the confidence you gain from having done it. It is a dancing reality that students who compete not only progress faster but ultimately become better dancers than students who don't. Like a magnet, a concrete goal, by its very existence, draws you closer to its achievement. Having a goal usually encourages you to work harder than you would without one. Students don't compete because they are better dancers, they are better dancers because they compete. Competitions are a unique creative outlet that allows you to compete and simultaneously perform and express your individuality. Challenge yourself. Have fun! The costumes. The make-up. The music. There is nothing more exciting and passionate than the glitz and glamour of competitive ballroom dancing.

What is Pro-Am?

Pro-Am competition is a category in DanceSport where amateur students partner with a professional dancer, similar to what you see on "Dancing With The Stars." In these events only the amateur is judged, leaving the professional free to concentrate on helping you look and dance your best! There are several age classifications and level divisions available, allowing professional partners to dance with all their students, and to ensure you compete against other dancers of similar skill. Every dance style is available, so you can choose the dances you want to compete in.

Age Categories

Each competition has slightly different age division breakdowns, and it is often possible to compete in a different age category. Pro-am age categories usually are:

-Pre-Teen: 12 & younger
-Junior: 13-15
-Youth: 16-18
-Adult: 18-35
-Adult B: 35-50
-Senior I: 50-70
-Senior II: 70+
