Experience Ballroom Dancing
The Ballroom Dance Experience of Ohio is a high-quality, independent, professional dance studio that offers affordable private and group dance classes. Ballroom dance lessons are offered to both singles and couples, and includes partner dancing such as: Ballroom, Swing, Salsa, Tango, Latin, and more. Professional dancing lessons can be given to wedding couples, social dancers, enthusiastic hobbyists, or competitive dancers.
While our current group class schedule can be found online, private and customized lessons are scheduled at your convenience. We guarantee that all private lessons will be a minimum of 45-minutes of dancing, even if you need to discuss lesson plans with your instructor. In an effort to make our prices affordable, we do not offer high sales packages with lessons or parties you will not use. In fact, Ballroom Dance Experience has a no high-pressured sales policy. Each purchase is customized to the number and type of lessons a student wants. Students can also determine what style of dance they wish to learn-including wedding dances! No strings attached!
Ballroom Dance Experience also offers gift certificates as a way to “Give the Gift of Dance” to a loved one. We encourage anyone who has reservations about ballroom dancing to contact us so we can answer any and all questions on how to use Gift Certificates for group lessons, private classes, or wedding instruction.
We take pride in our ability to meet the many needs of students and are willing to work with you for the best experience. We cannot wait to meet you and look forward to seeing you on the dance floor.
Experience Fun: Private Ballroom Dance Classes
Ballroom Dance Experience provides private ballroom, wedding, and social dance instruction. Private lessons are the most popular way to learn how to dance. Students have the opportunity to learn any dance style and experience the benefits of dancing at their own pace in a fun, non-stressful environment. All lessons are taught by professional ballroom instructors who are certified by DVIDA, the national standard for ballroom dancing.
As with all Ballroom Dance Experience classes, students have the opportunity to choose the dances they wish to learn, whether it is salsa, tango, swing, ballroom, wedding, or more. Professional instructors will ask which dances you would like to learn and what goals you would like to achieve with your dancing. We guarantee that we will honor your request to choose what you wish to learn -no strings attached. In an effort to accommodate the needs of our students, we don’t try to sell students dance packages or lessons they do not want or will not use. In fact, we have a no high-pressure sales policy.
Ballroom Dance Experience believes that students should have fun at their lessons and during their entire dance experience -including their instructor, type of dance music, and lesson prices. As professionals, we encourage students to actively participate in their own dance education by developing a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the arts.
Students can learn unique choreography for wedding dances, fun moves for social dancing, and even new information to improve partner and ballroom techniques. It is widely accepted that private dance lessons are the best and fastest way to progress. Unlike group classes, private lessons allow the instructor to give you personal attention and feedback on your dancing while teaching at the student’s pace. During the lessons, students receive custom, and oftentimes, more advanced information.

Experience Romance: Wedding Instruction
Preparing wedding couples for their first dance has become a staple feature at Ballroom Dance Experience. Since so many wedding couples have chosen to take private lessons or group classes, we have decided to start a series of private and group wedding classes specifically for couples who are getting married or will be attending a wedding.
All private lessons are 45-minutes and instructors will help choreograph and teach you a specific dance to any song. We begin with a wedding consultation to learn about you and how you envision your first dance. Within two lessons, a couple will be able to learn a beginning, middle, and end to their dance, and will also have the opportunity to film it so that they can practice at home.
Group wedding classes ensure that any couple will be able to dance to fast or slow music at the reception. All group class instruction for wedding dancing is taught in our group class wedding series. Classes are an hour and will cover most wedding dance basics and common songs played at weddings. Instructors also teach popular line dances played at weddings such as the Wobble or the Cupid Shuffle.
While most wedding couples take a combination of private wedding and group dance instruction, many couples choose one or the other. Regardless, instructors focus on social dance skills and etiquette necessary to feel confident in public venues.
