Our private ballroom dance lessons

Ballroom dancing is a social dance form that originated in the 18th and 19th centuries, mainly in Europe. The traditional social dances of the time, such as the Minuet and Quadrilles were performed at formal events and courtship rituals. Over time, people refined and transformed these dances into the ballroom dance styles that we know today.

There are several types of ballroom dance styles, each with its own unique characteristics and history. The most popular styles include:

3. Tango – Originating in Argentina in the late 19th century, Tango is a passionate and intense dance style. It involves sharp, staccato movements and a dramatic expression.
4. Cha-cha-cha – Originated in Cuba in the 1950s, Cha-cha-cha is a lively and energetic dance style. It is characterized by a syncopated rhythm and a playful, flirtatious expression.
