Congratulations to Jason and Rachel getting married Sunday, October 9th. They came in and took 19 lessons to prepare for their first dance and they are going to rock it out!
Even if you’re not getting ready for a wedding or special event, dancing is a great way to add excitement to your weekly routine.
I LOVE TEACHING WEDDING COUPLES! Congratulations to Jeeha and Chad…their biggest day is this Friday! I have a few tips for all Wedding Couples wanting their first dance to be special:
1. Don’t wait to the last minute!!! The sooner you start, the more options you have. It’s a better experience for both of you!
2. Plan on attending your classes 2-3 times a week. It’s important that your man or leader has muscle memory with the routine. On the day of your wedding, it will be crazy. You want to make sure he/she has your routine down.
3. I usually ask all brides for a photo of their wedding dress and floor plan as it plays a big part in what I teach.
4. Be patient with each other!!! It should be a fun experience.
We are a luxurious hidden gem and the most beautiful ballroom in the area.

Hiring Male/Female Instructor(s)
Modern Ballroom Dance Studio
Yes you can have a career in dance!
Our leadership is committed to providing you with high caliber dance training and a collegial team environment. But just as important, we understand the importance of a steady paycheck, and that there is the perception that having a career in dance is difficult to maintain. So whether you're new to dancing, switching dance genres or are an instructor looking to make the jump into a fun work environment, come check us out!
Who are we?
At Modern Ballroom Dance Studio we teach a variety of social dances so that people can be ready for any situation that comes along: weddings, corporate events, special dates, and many more dancing opportunities. Our dance classes are specially taught so that everyone can get the most out of every lesson. We focus on creating a friendly, inviting atmosphere for our students and guests.

We all care deeply about dance, about sharing our knowledge with the world, about supporting each other, and making the studio a success. A typical day consists of practicing with the other instructors, teaching private and group classes, and doing basic administrative work in support of your teaching. Additionally, Modern Ballroom is a thriving entrepreneurial environment, so if you have ideas or projects that would help the studio grow, we encourage sharing and will work hard to find time in the day to allow you to pursue those ideas. We want someone who will come in with a positive attitude, be ready to hone their own dance skills, and always be ready to do whatever they can to build our dance home.

POSTPONED...our Brazilian Zouk Bootcamp. It will be rescheduled for August/September; date coming soon.
For those whom have bought a ticket already that do not request a refund and plan on attending this in the future will receive a gift at the event.
It’s a hard topic; being fully vaccinated versus not. The staff at Modern Ballroom are fully vaccinated and we still wear masks when we teach. It’s a hard topic to talk about and I know not everyone will agree but hopefully enough people understand. Nothing is 100% but because we are dancing close, lets do everything in our power to be safe.
Hopefully we see you in the future!
