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 and the following dance each cost $3. You can attend both for only $5. Members attend lessons and dances for free, unless otherwise noted. 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.
