Slow Dancing
Perfect for Weddings and Date Nights

The #1 most requested dance style I teach is Slow Dancing. Spanning a wide range of music genres, including R&B, Pop favorites, Rock, and Jazz, Slow Dancing is perfect for a  First Dance and a must-learn staple for nights out. Whether simple or elaborate, Slow Dancing provides a great introduction to partnered dancing.

Blues Dancing
Get Out and Dance to Live Music

Blues Dancing is a collection of regional dances created by Black communities throughout the United States from the late 19th to mid-20th century. These dances are often improvisational, relaxed, and involve a lot of creative play between partners. Austin is a particularly great city for blues dancing, with organized classes, social dances, and an abundance of amazing live blues music.

Latin Dances
Dive Into Rhythm

Latin dancing is one of the most popular genres in Texas and around the world, encompassing many dances originating from Central and South America. Each dance has its own unique style, rhythm, and history. Salsa and Bachata are the most common when going out, but you might find yourself exploring other Latin styles like Cha Cha, Rumba, and Merengue over time.

Country-Western Dances
Let's Go Honky Tonkin' 

When you live in Texas, it’s hard to beat Two-Step and other Country-Western dances. Whether at a Texas dance hall or a local honky tonk, learning the Two-Step—traditional or "honky tonk" style—is a must. Country Waltz, Polka, Triple Two-Step, and Niteclub Two-Step are fun additions to any dancer’s repertoire, keeping you on the dance floor all night, no matter what the band or DJ plays.

Ballroom Dances
​Elegance Embodied

Ballroom dancing has significantly influenced the evolution of other dance styles and is a beautiful genre in its own right. You may have seen Ballroom dancing on shows like Dancing with the Stars or in films such as Take the Lead or Shall We Dance? My personal favorites are Foxtrot and the Waltz—I love how the music carries you from step to step. These classic dances are timeless for a reason; give them a try, and you might find a new passion!

Swing Dances
Good for the Soul

Swing dancing, which gained popularity alongside jazz music in Black communities in the early 20th century, is still alive and well today. It has evolved into many unique styles, from East Coast Swing to Lindy Hop to the more modern West Coast Swing. These high-energy, improvisational dances are super fun and are sure to bring a smile to your face!

Solo Jamming
Putting the Fun in Funky

If you’re looking to either blend in or stand out at a party, learning some basic grooves and moves is the way to go. Once you get comfortable dancing by yourself, you’ll have an absolute blast. There’s almost nothing I love more than losing myself to a good beat and letting my body move!
