Ballroom Dance Programs

Setting the standard of excellence in Ballroom Dance instruction, we offer a wide assortment of styles of dance lessons from beginner to advanced in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

We introduce both American and International Style in our Beginner Program. All Syllabus classes are based on International Style technique, the worldwide standard for medal testing and competitions. Dances are grouped into two "divisions":

Standard:  Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz

Latin:  Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Mambo, Bolero, Jive, Swing,
Argentine Tango, Merengue, Paso Doble
 
Additional Dance Styles:  Disco, Hustle, West Coast Swing, Line Dance, Club Dance, Street Latin

 

 

 

The Introductory Ballroom Program

Beginners should start by enrolling in this Beginner Group class. This is a comfortable class with excellent professional instruction, presented in a supportive and fun atmosphere. The Beginner class is designed for individuals with no prior dance experience. Learn basic steps and turns in Fox Trot, Waltz, Tango, Swing, Jitterbug, Cha Cha, Rumba, Salsa and Merengue. Lead and follow techniques are introduced as well as rhythm and timing to keep your learning experience interesting. New classes start regularly. After completion of the Beginner class, students move to syllabus classes.

The Pre-Bronze Program

The Pre-Bronze Program is geared towards acquiring freer movement around the dance floor while expanding variety, technique and footwork. Pre-Bronze dancers also begin to develop unique dance characteristics in the form of styling. This dance program is very popular with those wanting to get on the dance floor quickly.

The Full Bronze Program

The Full Bronze Program is designed for the couple who is ready to expand upon the basics of International Style Ballroom Dance.  By this time, you should feel comfortable dancing with your partner.  In this program, you will develop timing, posture, and a higher level of proficiency in lead and follow techniques.  Routines that will have you flowing around the dance floor will also be learned.  The Bronze Program is a favorite to all and is a great confidence builder!

The Silver Program

The Silver Program will begin working with continuity style dance.  Continuity of movements is what makes a couple glide across the dance floor with many natural directional changes.  In this program, focus will be placed on styling, technique, balance and control.  At this point, students should have an understanding of proper footwork and posture to maneuver around the floor comfortably with their partner.

The Gold Program

The Gold Program is for the highly dedicated couple who wishes to excel at Ballroom dancing.  Choreography, styling, technique, poise and showmanship are refined in this standard.  Gold Dancers have the confidence that comes with a complete and thorough knowledge of all International Style Ballroom dances.  There is a lot of work involved in this program, but you will truly be regarded as an outstanding dancer.

Getting started is easy.  The first step is to schedule an introductory lesson with one of our trained instructors. During that lesson, your instructor will determine your current level and recommend an appropriate course for you to continue. To set up your introductory lesson now, call us at 610-363-8679, or e-mail us at info@dancebluemoon.com.   

   


 

 

Private Lessons

 

For the majority of people who are first introduced to ballroom dancing, we recommend they start in our Beginner Class and progress at a comfortable pace through our group classes.  However, there are many advantages to learning through private lessons.  First and foremost, one-on-one instruction is the fastest way to improve your dancing.  Private lessons are taught at all levels from beginner to competitor.

 

 

Advantages of Private Lessons

  • The convenience of booking lessons that fit your schedule.

  • The complete attention of an instructor for the entire lesson.

  • To learn dance technique and variations not in the regular group class curriculum.

  • To learn as fast as you can handle or as slow as you feel comfortable.

  • A curriculum designed by your instructor to suit your ability and wishes.

Customer Testimonials
 

     "We chose Martin and Blue Moon Dancesport because we wanted authenticity and the best!  Martin is wonderful, his instruction is clear, his easy way of being creates a fun learning experience.  We absolutely love the location of the studio and plan on continuing on to other programs.  Ballroom dancing (we are learning) is more than just the moves.  It's also about the energy and flow of the dance partners and we are enjoying the process very much.  Thanks!"

- Christina & Ross Trotter   

 

      "My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed our Ballroom dance lessons with Martin at Blue Moon Dancesport!  Martin is wonderful, knowledgeable, patient, and a funny teacher and we're so glad that our next door neighbors told us about him and BMD!  The studio is very nice and has a great big dance floor.  The location is ideal, as it's right off the 30 bypass in Exton - right next to Rino's Restaurant.  We look forward to attending the Saturday Night Dance Parties so that we can practice what we've learned on Friday nights.  Our next door neighbors attend the Saturday Night Dance Parties on a regular basis and rave about how fun they are.  We also definitely plan to take the next level of dance lessons after we complete our beginner session.  We highly recommend Blue Moon Dancesport!"

- Tom & Jane Liberi   

 

     "We have been taking dance lessons with Martin for 10 years.  It has been a lot of fun and also good exercise!  We hope we are able to continue with Martin for at least another 10 years longer.  The people that attend the lessons and the dance parties are great to meet and get to know.  Blue Moon has been the source of many good times and friendships.  We feel that Martin and Blue Moon are the best by far!"

- Susan & David Siegal  

 

          

 


 

Policies

 

Attire:  Business casual - no shorts or mini-skirts please! 

Shoes:  Leather-soled shoes or ballroom dance shoes. No sneakers, flip-flops or platforms as they will make dancing more difficult for you. 

 

Tuition for Group Classes:  Tuition is due one week prior to the first class of each session.  Tuition payments are non-refundable or transferable and there are no refunds for withdrawal or reductions for missed classes.  If a student is to miss a class, the student must call ahead or inform their instructor in person prior to their absence if they would like to take a make-up class. Make-ups must be taken before the end of the current class session, and taken either one week prior or one week after the missed class, or they will be lost. Please consult the instructor for a recommendation on any make-up lessons. 

 

Tuition for Private Lessons Private Lessons are scheduled by appointment only. Private lessons must be paid for in advance before they will be confirmed and booked with an instructor. This pre-pay policy is required in order to ensure that an instructor is available just for you. As private lessons are often scheduled at times that work around the student's schedule, many times instructors return to the studio specifically to instruct the private lesson. So we ask that you are courteous to your instructor and abide by the policies. 

 

There are no refunds, exchanges or upgrades of any kind on private lessons. Once booked, a minimum of 48 hour notice is required in order to reschedule a lesson and avoid full charge for that lesson.  This required cancellation notice is so the studio has ample time to rebook the timeslot. We ask that you adhere by these policies.  Private lessons do not guarantee a private room.
