Not Your Average Ballroom Studio—And That’s a Good Thing.

We’re a community-first studio where beginners are embraced, quirks are celebrated, and no one cares if you mess up the steps (we all do!). Whether you're learning to waltz, cha-cha, or just not trip over your own feet, this is a space to be yourself, move freely, and fall in love with dancing—your way.

Testimonials
Alina Davison
We can't recommend Big Apple Ballroom enough!! We worked with Enxhi on creating our first dance and she listened to exactly what we wanted, making sure to add in adjustments based on our feedback. She made lessons easy and patiently walked us through each step, explaining everything in a digestible way. She truly made our first dance so magical and we received so many compliments from our guests on how great it was! Our DJ even started our music early, but because we had prepared for all different situations during the lessons, we felt so comfortable getting back on track. If you're thinking about taking dance lessons for your first dance, definitely reach out to Big Apple Ballroom!

From my heart to my not-so twinkle toes, once I or anyone else steps on the floor there is a welcoming joyous vibe that fills the air:)
I have been fortunate enough to have attended 1 Private Lesson, the Sunday Beginners Social Ballroom Group classes and the Dance Parties.
These incredible teachers glide us through each one with grace and patience. After I left there, I was practicing the steps on the subway platform:)
The Dance Party events have turned my friends' and my two left feet into friends too for those few unforgettable and fun filled hours.
Thank you, Big Apple Ballroom, I hope to see you soon:)

I’ve been taking West Coast Swing classes here for over a year, moving from Level 1 to eventually Level 3. Sophie is a great instructor and the studio owner, Michael, has cultivated such a welcoming environment for new and experienced dancers. I highly recommend this studio to anyone interested in learning partner dancing!
