Would you like to learn how to swing, salsa, cha cha, tango, waltz and many other dances in Memphis area? Ballroom dancing is a great exercise and tons of FUN!

At Blue Suede Ballroom, we offer a variety of group and private lessons which will help you become the best dancer you can be no matter what your level of ability or experience. We offer two main types of dance classes – private and group where we cover four major styles of ballroom dance: American Rhythm, American Smooth, International Latin and International Standard.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are the most important component of any dancer’s training. While more expensive than group classes, privates are the fastest and most effective way to learn how to dance. They allow you to work one on one with your teacher with his/her attention focused 100% on you (or you and your partner). No two people are alike and everyone learns at their own pace and has their own challenges. During a private lesson, your teacher can work on issues of special interest and need just to you. You will find the information you receive very useful and you will avoid a lot of more general information you will obtain during a group class. It has been proven that you can learn about four to five times as much during one private lesson as opposed to a group lesson. We strongly recommend private lessons for you to take full advantage of your dance training at Blue Suede Ballroom.

Private lessons are scheduled by appointment only. Please call the studio at 901-758-0032 for pricing and to schedule your private. We often offer special pricing for new/beginner students!

Group Classes

We offer a wide selection of group classes to meet any dancer’s needs: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Group classes are a great way to learn a variety of dance steps and patterns.  In addition, Advanced classes focus on technique and styling. Group classes can be a great addition to your private lessons as you can learn new steps and then improve them in great detail during your privates. In addition, group classes provide you with a great opportunity to meet other students and practice your skills with various partners if you’d like! Being able to lead or follow different partners is key to being an excellent social dancer.  

Group classes are $10 per person. Go to Calendar to see this month’s Schedule of Classes or call the studio at 901-758-0032.
