About our Teen Classes
Our teen ballroom dance classes are designed to introduce teenagers, 14 years and older, to the world of ballroom dance through fun and easy instruction. We will cover the basic patterns and elements from a 4 to 6 of our most popular Ballroom & Latin dances, which could include the Waltz, Rumba, Bachata, Foxtrot, Swing, Tango, Cha Cha, Salsa, and more! We carefully choose which dances to cover based on the classes ability and any prior familiarity with these styles.
There are so many great reasons why teens should learn how to social dance. Taking ballroom dance classes as a teenager increases their confidence when in social settings, builds self-discipline, and teaches them respect for others, in addition to gaining better balance, control, rhythm, musicality, and more!
Partners are not necessary for this class. While partners are not necessary for our teen classes, unlike our younger groups, we will be introducing the basics of leading and following in these classes. Students will learn about dance etiquette and how to properly and appropriately dance with another person. These skills are especially important at this age, when many teens will start going to school dances, such as prom or homecoming.
Because we do not require students to register with a partner, there may be an uneven amount of leaders and followers in class, which is okay. We will rotate partners throughout the class to ensure everyone gets a chance to practice.
Our class sizes for our teens our kept much smaller than our younger groups. This is because we are working on how to lead and follow, and not just patterns. We want to ensure we can give our students the best experience, which includes helping them create healthy habits and safely execute the dances.
