Yes you can! Our systematic, step-by-step approach transforms even the most awkward beginners to confident dancers. We truly believe that everyone can learn and enjoy ballroom dancing, and we've helped thousands of people just like you succeed on the social dance floor. We make it easy. We make it fun. And we make dance possible for you!

There are so many benefits of learning to ballroom dance! Here are a few:

Reduce your stress and add ✨JOY✨ to your life!
The music, the smiling faces, two people moving as one - it transports you to another world:  a happy place where our cares melt away, we're in the moment, we feel vibrant and alive. Many of our students say their dance classes are the highlight of their week, a great joy in their lives, and something they look forward to all day.

Gain confidence and feel more comfortable in social situations
Have you ever been at a wedding or party and everyone is out dancing and you're on the sidelines? Are you naturally more reserved and would like to feel more at ease in social situations? Has someone ever told you that you're a "bad dancer" or you feel awkward or embarrassed while dancing? Our studio is a safe and supportive space and we've transformed thousands of students from awkward newbies to successful dancers. Our students tell us that not only do they feel more comfortable on the dance floor, they feel more comfortable in life as well!

Connect with our happy dance community
Our studio is a special place filled with joyful people and positive energy. We'll laugh as we learn and cheer each other along the way. You'll always feel a part of our community.

Have fun learning about different music & cultures
One of the best things about dance is the music. You'll get to enjoy classic standards from elegant eras of old and get to rock out to modern hits you hear on the radio.

Enjoy heart-healthy exercise and boost your brain by learning new skills
Did you know that studies have shown that dancing frequently reduces your risk of dementia by 76%! Learning new skills is key to keeping our mental acuity and dance has the added benefit of giving you a great cardio work-out that keeps your body strong and healthy.

Spark new passion in your relationship and enjoy an exciting date night out
We love dancing for couples - no matter how long you've been together we've found dance enhances connection, communication, desire, and intimacy. Plus it makes a great date night. We've even had students tell us dance has saved their marriage.

Overcome loss or adversity
We've many students start dancing after the loss of a spouse, a divorce, or other challenge. They've told us that dance helped them emerge from the pain. It gave them something new to focus on and helped bring joy back into their lives.

Improve your grace, posture, and coordination
Dancers look amazing just standing there. The way they walk and hold themselves - it looks confident, graceful, and powerful. And when you learn to move through the world as a dancer, you look strong, you feel strong, and you're ready for anything that comes your way.

Reduce your stress and add ✨JOY✨ to your life!
Our lives are busy, stressful. We feel anxious and depressed at times. Add a dose of joy and sunshine to your day with dance. You'll smile more, relax, breathe, and enjoy life.

Gain a new hobby you can use all over the world and enjoy for a lifetime.
Dance is a universal language and once you learn to dance, you can easily make new friends wherever you go in the world. You'll be able to connect with others and can hit the dance floor with confidence!

Ballroom group classes - nice casual

Wear clothing that's comfortable and that you can move in. Stretchy and wicking fabrics are great, but don't wear work-out clothes as ballroom dancing is an elegant activity :-)

We offer dance clothing for sale at our studio boutique. Practice wear includes mix-and-match pieces such as dance pants, skirts, dresses, shirts and tops. These pieces feature wicking materials to keep you cool, flowy fabrics to enhance your movement, and stylish designs to elevate your look.

Only enrolled students are permitted in the ballroom during class. We don't allow unattended children to be at the studio. This fosters the learning environment and enables our staff and students to focus during class.

If you have a friend who is interested in learning to dance, please let our staff know so we can recommend the best way for them to get started :-)

Good question! Since you’ll be in close proximity when dancing with others, be extra diligent with your personal hygiene. Here are some tips:

• Brush your teeth before class and use mouthwash or breath mints during class to refresh as needed. 
• If possible, shower before class - especially if you were doing something sweaty (like yardwork or exercise) before class.
• Wear clean clothes
• Wash your hands before and after class
• Avoid eating strong-smelling foods before class (garlic, tuna, ect)
• Avoid wearing perfume and cologne
• Use deodorant

Introduce yourself to new partners before dancing. Smile and enjoy yourself as this will put your partner at ease. Thank each person after the dance. Offer a compliment to your partner if you wish.

Don’t correct or criticize your partner while dancing. As dancers, our only responsibility is to focus on improving own dancing. It’s counterproductive and inappropriate to give suggestions for improvement or to offer unsolicited help or feedback to your dance partners.

This is the biggest complaint we get from our dancers - when other students presume to correct their dancing. Don’t be that person!

The best way to help someone is to allow them to learn and progress at their own pace.

Good etiquette and common courtesy ensures everyone has an enjoyable dance experience.

A group class is where one teacher works with many students and covers a specific dance or topic. 

Group classes are a fun, affordable way to learn and enjoy dancing with a community. And they are an essential part of any dance program because they allow you to practice dancing with a variety of partners. This is a proven way to accelerate your learning and will make you a better leader or follower. Bring your friends; make new friends. It’s always fun to learn together.

We recommend signing up for group classes at least 24 hours in advance. This is to ensure that your class isn't canceled due to low enrollment and so you'll automatically be notified of any schedule changes or class cancellations.

If you’re unable to enroll in advance, yes - you can still come to class :-) Just be sure to check our schedule online to ensure there aren’t any last-minute class cancellations.

If you’re a new student and haven’t enrolled online, please arrive 15 minutes early to complete your registration at the front desk.

You may sign up for group classes online or by calling 843-338-2870.

Our group classes are ongoing and you can start anytime! No need to wait until the beginning of the month to begin.

Yes, you can drop-in to our group classes or you can purchase a discounted class pass. We offer 5 and 10 class passes that are valid for 3 months. We also offer monthly studio memberships.

If you take one class per week, we recommend a 5 class pass.

If you take two or more classes per week, we recommend a 10 class pass.

This ensures you have ample time to use all your classes before they expire.

Since levels vary widely by studio and region, we ask dancers who are new to our studio to take their first class at the Intro level (or take a private lesson if you prefer) so your teacher can assess your level and recommend the best placement for you. When you’re ready to move-up, just ask your teacher.

We don't require any special shoes for the Intro level, but they are required at the higher levels. After your first month of classes, you may 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.

Dance shoes come in all styles, from a flashy latin heel, to a comfortable practice shoe, dressy wingtips, and everything in between. You can buy dance shoes at our studio boutique or we can order something special for you. Please see our Guide To Buying Dance Shoes for helpful tips.
