We created The Ballroom Dance Company to share the joy and benefits of dancing by providing a friendly, positive and knowledgeable atmosphere that allows you to meet people and learn a life long skill. We consider teaching people to dance a privilege and our personal goal.

We provide each student with a personalized program for their individual needs to creatively express themselves, exercise, socialize, and enhance their current dance skills. No partner is necessary.

Learn sensual tango motion, as you party the night away... or perhaps you want to develop the characteristic grace of the Waltz? The Ballroom Dance Company is here to meet your needs. So, lets get started!

We offer great dance instruction and affordable weekly ballroom dances, in a positive, fun-filled setting.
