Waltz
Graceful rise and fall in 3/4 time. Perfect for first dances, father-daughter dances and anniversary celebrations.
Tango

Ballroom Tips From Our Instructors
Advice our Tampa North instructors give new ballroom students.
Stand tall
Good posture does half the work. Shoulders down, chest up, and your dancing instantly looks better.
Count out loud
Whispering "slow, slow, quick, quick" keeps you on time until it becomes automatic.
Lead with your body
Leaders guide with the frame, not the arms. Followers wait for the lead instead of guessing.
Dance a little every day
Five minutes in the kitchen between lessons helps patterns stick much faster.
