Important Information:

  • Partners are not required. We encourage you to sign up with a friend so that you have a guaranteed practice partner. Think outside the box when it comes to traditional dance roles- grab a friend, sibling, or roommate and come dance!

  • We will not require partners to rotate in ballroom classes, but you may choose to do so. We regularly rotate in Salsa and Bachata classes. Individual dancers may pair up or practice solo towards the mirror.

  • Social dancing is an intimate sport. If you have not received your COVID-19 vaccine, please consider doing so before social dancing.

  • Please do not come to class if you are not feeling well for any reason. You can make up the class later when you are feeling better. Your partners thank you in advance.

Class Descriptions

SALSA & BACHATA

LA-style salsa (on1). 45 minute sessions. $10 drop-in - NO registration required! Choose between Beginner and Int/Adv options.  

BEGINNER BALLROOM 

Are you new to ballroom dancing? We'd love to have you join us. No prior dance experience needed. The beginning of the month is the best time to drop in as we rotate styles each month. However, SUMMER SESSION is a sampler, so we move through a new dance every few weeks. Email natalie@dancefx.org if you have questions about the best time to start.

INTERMEDIATE BALLROOM   

Technique, style, vocabulary and musicality.  Dances taught on varying rotation (not a set schedule like Beginner Ballroom). Knowledge of the basics of both smooth and rhythm styles is expected and required. Prerequisite: a minimum of one year of ballroom sampler or equivalent training.  Not sure if this is the right class for you? Email natalie@dancefx.org to discuss.

ADVANCED BALLROOM

By prior permission only, email natalie@dancefx.org. Prerequisite: A minimum of two years of instruction, knowledge of bronze and silver syllabi.
