Our Most
Popular Dances

From Latin to East Coast Swing, we’ve got your next dance style.

Salsa Dance Lessons

Salsa

Salsa is a partnered dance where the lead takes the follow through a series of spins and turn patterns to music. Salsa dancers can also break apart during a dance to dance solo, known as "shines." There are two main styles of salsa: linear and circular.

Tango

Tango is characterized by a close hold, a low center of gravity and an emphasis on Contra Body movement. Movement is stealthy, almost cat-like and has an unmistakable staccato feel and major dramatic attitude. 

Rumba Dance Lessons

Rumba

Rumba is a ballroom dance of Afro-Cuban folk-dance origin that became internationally popular in the early 20th century. Best known for the dancers' subtle side to side hip movements with the torso erect.

Swing Dance Lessons

Swing

Swing dancing is a popular social dance that is often characterized by lifts, spins and flips. It's generally upbeat, lively and a lot of fun to watch—and to dance! Like most dance styles, there are variations of the dance.

Waltz Dance Lessons

Waltz

The Waltz is a smooth dance that travels around the line of dance. Characterized by its “rise and fall” action, the Waltz includes a step, slide, and step in 3/4 time. Dancers should move their shoulders smoothly, parallel with the floor instead of up and down. 

Cha Cha Dance Lessons

Cha Cha

The Cha Cha dance is characterized by intricate foot movement, quick spins, strong hip movement, sharp action and staccato, all this done to Latin American Cha Cha music. The Cha-Cha-Cha is a lively, playful and groovy social dance.

Fox Trot Dance Lessons

Fox Trot

The foxtrot is a smooth dance where the dancers travel across the dance floor (Bedinghaus). The long walking movements contribute to the iconic rise and fall motion. The footwork is a combination of slow and quick steps. 

Hustle Dance Lessons

Hustle

The hustle is a catch-all name for some disco dances which were extremely popular in the 1970s. Today it mostly refers to the unique partner dance done in ballrooms and nightclubs to disco music. 

Bolero Dance Lessons

Bolero

Bolero is a slow, beautiful, expressive dance that is somewhat of a hybrid. It combines the dance patterns of Rumba with the rise and fall action of the Waltz. Bolero is the slowest of all the American Style Rhythm dances.
