Dance

Dances are the heart of Ballroom Dance Club. Here are the details of each dance event and other related activities. Our dances are almost always preceded by a beginning and intermediate lesson on the thematic dance so everyone can take part in the fun.

Lessons cost $3 and the following dance costs $2. You can attend both for only $4. What's more, if you dress up for the theme of the evening and you receive an additional $1 off! Members attend lessons and dances for free. Non-BDC events are not covered by membership, so everyone must pay the cover charge.

Please remember that lessons begin promptly at the time stated. To avoid interruptions, we will be closing the doors from fifteen minutes after the lesson begins until the dance itself begins.
