The Dances

First-time students will learn the fundamental elements of ballroom technique, language, style and etiquette of eight ballroom and social dances.

DCA classes provide participants with opportunity

To meet peers from schools throughout NYC’s five boroughs, develop and nurture friendships, work with a group toward a shared goal, all while having fun in a safe, diverse and inclusive environment.

Additionally, students who enroll for the fall semester will be able to learn a variety of engaging and challenging social dances recently added to the curriculum, taught by our talented roster of returning and dedicated teaching artists.
