D. D. says, "As I think upon the dance instruction I’ve received through Uwe and Colleen for over seven years now, it’s with thankfulness for the skills they’ve taught me in social dance (Cross-Step Waltz, Nightclub Two-Step, and East Coast Swing, specifically), and for getting to be part of the dance community they’ve created. I so look forward to Tuesday evenings when I can be back in class and with my regular dance friends there." Read more

Michelle S. says, "To sum it up: Daniel is amazing. He made the experience so much fun, is so kind and easy to learn from and he is so encouraging. My dad and I were taking lessons for my wedding and had such a great time that my fiancé wanted to take lessons too- and we did! None of us had ever really danced before but we came out feeling excited about the wedding dances and not anxious. I can’t wait to show everyone what we can do now! Highly recommended even if you’re a noob like we were and just want to have some fun. " Read more

Nila says, "Stas is a brilliant, inspiring world-class instructor, and taking his class is a must for any dance lovers. He has his own unique method, which allows students to learn several dances with similar steps simultaneously, and when you leave each class being able to dance 5-6 dances you never knew you could, it feels incredibly empowering. As a teacher, Stas is meticulous, patient, encouraging, allowing sufficient time for review and practice in each class. But it is more than technique that makes his classes stand out. Stas truly created a community, the community where everybody feels welcome regardless of one's level. Above all, his classes constantly remind you that teaching is art and dance is a miracle."

Beyond the compulsion to share what I love with others, I am enthralled with the art and act of teaching dance! Dance should be fun and available for everyone!!! What I love most about my job is getting to be creative in all aspects of the word, from customizing a teaching method for each student to choreographing a wedding performance! I love seeing that "light bulb moment" when students realize how much potential they have. Every person young, old, and of any fitness level can enjoy dancing, and my life goal is to share that same joy with all of my students!...

Your ballroom dance questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do ballroom dance lessons cost?

Ballroom dance lessons cost $50 to $200 per session for up to two people, offering personalized attention and faster progress. Group classes are more affordable, averaging $15 to $40 per person, and provide a social atmosphere for learning. Many studios offer introductory specials for new students, priced between $50 and $150, to help them get started.

For those preparing for a wedding, specialized packages can cost anywhere from $400 to $1,800 or more per couple, depending on the number of lessons and level of instruction. Additional options include practice parties for applying skills in a social setting, and monthly social memberships that often include unlimited group classes and parties. Online lessons have also become popular, with some free resources available and paid membership plans ranging up to $50 per month, providing a flexible and potentially more affordable option for learning.

What do I wear to ballroom dance lessons?

Choosing the right attire for ballroom dance lessons is essential for comfort and style. Women often wear elegant, flowy dresses that allow for freedom of movement and enhance visual appeal. Fitted tops paired with flared skirts are popular, and comfortable dance shoes are crucial for support and flexibility.

Men typically opt for fitted dress shirts and tailored trousers, sometimes adding a waistcoat or jacket for a polished look. It's best to avoid baggy clothing, as it can hinder movement. Proper dance shoes are essential for both men and women, as they differ significantly from regular footwear.

Where can I take ballroom dance lessons?

You can take ballroom dance lessons at various types of venues, including dance studios, community centers, and even online platforms. Many established dance studios offer a range of classes for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced dancers. Some studios feature experienced instructors who can tailor lessons to individual needs, making them suitable for couples preparing for weddings or individuals looking to enhance their dance skills.

In addition to traditional studios, some community centers and local organizations host ballroom dance classes, providing a more casual environment. Online platforms have also become popular, offering virtual lessons that allow you to learn from home at your own pace. Whether you prefer in-person instruction or online learning, there are numerous options available to suit your schedule and preferences.

What ages can take ballroom dance lessons?

Ballroom dance lessons are accessible to individuals of all ages, making it a versatile activity for families and communities. Children can start as young as 3 or 4 years old, which is considered an ideal age for developing coordination, balance, and social skills through dance. Many studios offer classes specifically designed for younger children, often categorized as "junior" classes for ages 6 to 18. These classes not only teach the fundamentals of various ballroom styles but also promote teamwork and gender equality by encouraging interaction with partners of the opposite gender.

For adults, there is no upper age limit to begin ballroom dancing. Classes cater to a wide range of age groups, from young adults in their twenties to seniors in their nineties. Many studios host social dance events that attract diverse age demographics, fostering a welcoming environment for everyone. Whether it's a couple preparing for their wedding or seniors looking to rekindle their love for dance, ballroom dancing serves as an enjoyable way to stay active and socially engaged throughout life.

How do I choose a ballroom dance class?

Choosing the right ballroom dance class can significantly enhance your learning experience and enjoyment. With various options available, it's essential to consider your goals, preferences, and the environment that best suits your needs:

  • Class type: Decide between private lessons for personalized attention or group classes for a social atmosphere.
  • Instructor qualifications: Look for certified instructors with experience in teaching the specific dance styles you’re interested in.
  • Class offerings: Ensure the studio provides a variety of classes that cater to different skill levels and dance styles.
  • Location and accessibility: Choose a studio that is conveniently located and easily accessible to encourage regular attendance.
  • Community and atmosphere: Consider the studio's vibe–a supportive and welcoming environment can enhance your learning experience.

What questions should I ask a ballroom dance studio?

When considering a ballroom dance studio, asking the right questions can help ensure you find the best fit:

  • What are the instructors' qualifications? Inquire about their experience, certifications, and teaching styles to ensure they meet your learning preferences.
  • What types of classes do you offer? Check for a variety of class levels and dance styles to match your interests.
  • What is the class size? Smaller classes often provide more personalized attention, while larger classes may offer a more social experience.
  • What are the studio's safety standards? Ask about safety measures in place, such as CPR certification for instructors and emergency protocols.
  • Are there performance opportunities? Find out if the studio hosts showcases or competitions, which can enhance your learning experience.
  • Do you offer trial classes or introductory packages? Ask if they have special deals for newcomers, such as discounted trial classes or packages that include multiple lessons at a reduced rate.

Reviews for Beaverton ballroom dance lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Beaverton area.
Richard R.
I would be amiss if I didn’t give a special acknowledgment to Colleen Suzanne. She was able to teach me the steps that I wished to learn while building my confidence. She taught with unfailing kindness, enthusiasm and patience. Uwe and Colleen are a wonderful team; intellect and heart. But I’ve also been in numerous dance classes when Colleen was the primary instructor. She is a fantastic teacher. And my wife and I have had privates with her as well. It is with a sense of gratitude that I say that I would recommend her. If you want to learn to dance and have fun doing it, try Colleen!

My husband and I started taking lessons from Stas in early May and he's got us absolutely addicted. We even bought shoes! Stas has a great and inviting teaching style that appeals to both men and women. We are continuing to learn new steps each class and improve the ones we already have. We look forward to years of lesson with Stas.
