Ballroom dance, refers collectively to a set of partner dances, which originated
in the Western world and are now enjoyed both socially and competitively
around the globe. It is for young and old.
While historically ballroom dance may refer to any form of formal social
dancing as recreation, with the eminence of dance sport in modern times
the term has became much narrower in scope, usually referring specifically
to the International Standard and International Latin style dances (see
dance groupings below).
In the United States, two additional variations—"American Smooth" and "American Rhythm"—have also been popularized and are commonly recognized as styles of "ballroom dance".

Meet Carri Fox
Carri was our instructor for over twenty years and what adifference in our life has she made. We enjoy dancing which provides a host of new friends, the health benefits of dancing instead of watching TV (ugh!), and the excitement of visiting neat places.
We will miss her smiling face but through the magic of digital photography, she will never be too far away!
Swing Dancing
Swing is the ultimate
in partner dancing, blending high energy with old-fashioned charm.
This popular dance form evolved from the Lindy Hop in the '30s, blossomed
with jazz and the Big Band era and then spread into at least eight different
types, including East Coast, West Coast, Rockabilly and Country Swing. Also
some classes in Eastern Swing Salsa Disco Two Step.
