What We are About
Click for Membership Form
If you love all kinds of dancing, we're the club for you.
We don't just do Ballroom dance - at our dances/practices, we play music for Ballroom Dance, Western and Western Partner Dance, Line Dance, and Latin Dances.
We will help you get started if you've never stepped foot on the dance floor. We now are featuring Novice classes twice a month, with a Novice Practice party once a month to help you feel more comfortable about joining dinner dances and other events. The classes are normally on Mondays in the Vermilion room, and the Novice Parties are on Fridays in the Vermilion room in the same time slots as our open practice. Check the Activities calendar or send a note to countmein@sbballroomdance.com for more information.
Our members can go to any class we provide free. Prospective members may attend one class free to see if they like it.
Our members also receive reduced rates for our dinner dances, but you may attend as a guest if you'd like to get a feel for the club before committing.
We also have several times during the week available for practice - some with D.J.s, sometimes you can bring your favorite music. These sessions designated as "Open Practice" are not restricted to members.
Always check the Activites Calendar because we do have cancellations.. and also for DJ information.
As of July 2024, we have a completely new schedule for our Activities.
