New to Dancing? Start Here.
No experience. No partner. No pressure.
Just a fun, welcoming way to try something new.
If you’ve never danced before (or think you have two left feet), you’re exactly who we’re for. Most of our students walk in feeling nervous… and leave wondering why they didn’t start sooner.
At Simply Ballroom, you don’t need: experience, a partner, or “natural rhythm.” You just need to show up.
Step 1: Pick Your First Class
Start with one of our beginner-friendly group classes. These are designed for absolute beginners, so you won’t feel behind.
Need some help choosing? Our beginner line dance classes are popular. Beginner Swing and Beginner Salsa are also a great place to start.
If our 8-week class session has already started, you won’t be able to register, but you are welcome to drop into any class at any time for $20 per person to try it out.
Step 2: Just Show Up
We’ll guide you through everything. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance.
BUT we have a FAQ section, for those of you who still have questions…

Step 4: Come Back Next Week
This is where the magic happens—confidence builds quickly when you stay consistent.
