Group and Private Dance Lessons

At the Blue Moon Ballroom, we offer both private dance lessons and group dance classes to fit your schedule and learning style. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining your technique, we'll help you feel confident and comfortable on any social dance floor.

Club Style Dance Classes

Learn versatile, social-friendly dance styles like:

• West Coast Swing

• Classic Swing

• Nightclub Two Step (NC2S)

• Rumba

These styles are ideal for weddings, parties, and nights out with live music or DJs. Swing dances are energetic and great for upbeat tunes, while NC2S and rumba are slower, more romantic, and perfect for winding down without sitting out.

Latin Dance Lessons

Spice up your dance journey with Latin dance styles including:

• Salsa

• Bachata

• Cha-Cha-Cha

These passionate dances originate from Cuba—also the homeland of our co-instructor, Gretel Quiñones, who brings authentic rhythm and flavor to every class. Learn to move your hips, feel the beat, and express yourself through exciting Latin rhythms.

Ballroom Smooth Dance Instruction

• Slow Waltz

Ballroom dances are graceful, flowing, and visually stunning. With personalized instruction, you’ll progress from the basic steps to gliding across the floor with poise and confidence—perfect for formal events and special occasions.

Country Dance Classes

Love country music? Get your boots on and learn:

• Country Two Step

Our very own “Cuban Cowgirl,” Gretel, makes country dancing accessible and fun. From easy basics to lively turns and smooth sequences, you’ll be ready to boot-scoot across any honky-tonk floor.

Argentine Tango Lessons
