Ballroom Dance Myths Debunked

Ballroom Dancing is a new world for many people. Even if you want to learn, these common fears and limiting beliefs may hold you back.

Let’s take a look at these ballroom dance myths because on the other side of signing up for class is a world where you’re a confident, smooth dancer who enjoys getting out on the dance floor and moving to music.

Myth #1

❌ I can’t dance because I don’t have rhythm / am a super awkward robot / don’t know how to move to music.

✅ Learning how to move your body to the beat so you look good and feel comfortable is what dance classes are for! That’s what we do is take people with no experience and teach them how to hear the music and how to dance with a partner in a smooth and confident way.

Learning to dance is like learning any new skill - how to play a sport, how to speak a new language, how to work your phone 📲 It might take some time; sure some people pick it up faster than others, but with practice anyone can learn.

Everyone can learn and enjoy ballroom dancing. And the sooner you sign up for dance classes, the sooner you’ll be able to feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor.

Myth #2

❌ I can’t dance because I don’t have a partner.

✅ You don’t need a partner to attend any of our classes as we rotate partners during class. Not only does this help you learn faster, but it improves your lead/follow skills and is a great way to socialize and meet new friends.

So don’t let not having a partner hold you back from enjoying ballroom dancing. Coming to class is one of the best ways to meet others who enjoy dancing. And by improving your own dance skills, you’ll become a much more desirable dance partner. So sign up now and join our happy dance community 😄

Myth #3

❌ I can’t dance because I’m too old.

✅ You might be surprised to know that most of our students are adults. And many of our best students are older adults who never learned to dance as kids.

It is truly never too late to learn. Even if you dream of performing, competing, or becoming a professional ballroom dance instructor - we offer programs tailored to help you reach your goals.

And I think ballroom dance is one of the best things we can do as we age. Dancing keeps us active, mentally fit, and socially connected. Plus it’s brings so much joy to our lives.

The sooner you sign up the more years you get to enjoy dancing 💃🏼🕺🏻
