Our Ballroom Dance Parties are held every 2nd Saturday of the month, 7-10 PM.

Our Halloween Dance Party is the 4th Saturday of October (instead of the 2nd).

We post any changes to our party schedule online; please check our Schedule page for current details.

Be social and welcoming of new dancers

Ask a variety of partners to dance, and graciously accept invitations to dance when asked.

Welcome new dancers and visitors to the studio by asking them to dance, introducing them to others, and helping make them feel at home in our happy dance community.

No Teaching on the Social Dance Floor

Dance parties are a time for enjoying dancing and to practice moves you already know.

The floor is crowded; the music is loud - so it's not the time or place for instruction or Q&A. During a party, it's not appropriate to ask your teacher questions or to try to get help working through a move. If a step isn't working or you can't remember something, move on to something else.

If you have questions about steps, save them for your private lesson. And if you want to learn more moves, sign up for a group class.

Declining dances

In general, it's polite to accept a dance when invited. If you choose to decline, do so kindly, then be sure to sit out that particular song. Once you decline a dance, you may not dance with someone else until the next song.

Don’t correct your partner

Your Partner Has a Teacher — It's Not You.

Don't try to coach a fellow student or offer unsolicited feedback or suggestions while social dancing. Even if you think it would helpful. This is a big no-no in the social dance world, and many dancers will find this offensive and rude.

They said yes to dancing with you; they haven't signed up for your class. They just want to dance. Leave teaching to instructors, and just enjoy the party.

In order to provide a comfortable and supportive dance environment for all, we encourage students to focus on improving their own dancing.

Offering corrections, suggestions for improvement, and unsolicited feedback to your partners at our studio is not permitted.

We recommend attire that is elevated, stylish, and ready to groove.

Some parties have a special theme, and in this case, attire will be specified. Dressing for the theme is optional, and you’re always welcome to wear whatever you enjoy and is comfortable for you.

To see examples of what students wear to dance parties, see our dance party photo gallery here.

If you don’t have dance shoes - wear comfortable shoes with a smooth sole such as a dress shoe or tennis shoe. Anything besides flip-flops will work as long as you feel comfortable and can dance for a few hours. Shoes that lace up or have an ankle strap will stay in place better while dancing. We don't recommend high heels unless they’re dance shoes. Also avoid heavy, bulky shoes such as work boots.

We don't require any special shoes for our dance parties, but if you dance regularly you'll want to invest in suede-soled dance shoes. They make a big difference, even for beginner dancers, and you’ll be able to turn and control your movement more easily.

When you're ready to purchase dance shoes see our Recommended Dance Shoes and guide to buying dance shoes here.

• Smooth - Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, & Viennese Waltz
