Adult Ballroom / Country Western

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

ADULT BALLROOM AND COUNTRY WESTERN
City Dance Center’s Adult / Teen Ballroom and Country Western program consists of a variety of styles including Two Step, Country Waltz, Polka, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Waltz, Tango, and more!

Classes are taught in a 4 week Workshop format and meet once a week for one hour. Occasionally we will also offer one hour “Mini Sessions” where students can learn the basics of a dance style in one hour.

Our program is open to all levels of dancers and you do not need a partner to attend classes! We offer a relaxed and casual atmosphere where adults can learn to dance, socialize, and have fun.

How do I sign up?

You can sign up online through our website (Click Here to Register). You can also enroll in classes at City Dance Center during office hours. We accept credit cards, check, or cash. If you are signing up on the first day of class, please arrive 15 minutes prior to class start time.

What you need to know before taking a class

No partner is required to take classes! We rotate throughout the class, so that everyone has a chance to partner up. Rotating is very important (even if you have a partner) so that students can feel how everyone follows and leads differently.

You do not need special shoes to take classes. You can take class in comfortable shoes. Once you get to the Intermediate / Advanced level class, ballroom heels and ballroom shoes for guys are recommended but not required.

You are going to get a great, low impact workout and it’s going to be fun!

No need to be nervous! While our classes are very informative, we teach in a fun casual tone and welcome all levels of dancers! No experience is necessary to join a class. We welcome everyone and even those with “two left feet.”

Refund policy

We do not offer refunds on classes that are paid for or missed classes. If you sign up for a class, and cannot attend, you will have a credit on your account, which you can use for another class or workshop of your choice.

Making up a missed class

If you miss a class and would like to make it up, please speak with your instructor for options on a makeup class.
