"My partner has never danced"
Most couples start with one keen dancer and one nervous one. Your instructor teaches each of you your own part, slowly.

Never danced together? Perfect. Ballroom, Latin or swing — at your own pace.

01Ballroom, Latin, swing or a wedding first dance. Tell your instructor what you two are after, or try a couple of styles and see what clicks.
02Your first basic step and an easy hold, with each of you learning your own part — lead and follow — slowed right down until it feels natural.
03You finish by dancing a full song as a couple. Then you talk through what you'd like to learn next — no pressure to sign up.

Most couples start with one keen dancer and one nervous one. Your instructor teaches each of you your own part, slowly.

Every first lesson starts from step one, at your pace, and nobody expects you to know how to lead or follow.

No audition and no fitness requirement. Partner dancing is built for adults of every age, and the pace is set by you two.

Learn together in the same lesson — dancing turns into a hobby you share, not another dinner out.

You decide. Your instructor walks you both through the options and prices at the end of the intro, and you won't be asked to commit to anything on your first visit.
Ballroom and Latin partner dances: American Smooth (waltz, tango, foxtrot), American Rhythm (cha-cha, rumba, swing, bolero, mambo), International Standard and Latin, and social styles such as salsa, bachata, merengue and hustle. Not sure where to start? Tell your instructor what music you like or what you're dancing for, and they'll suggest a first dance.
Yes. Tell your instructor the date, the song and the occasion (a wedding, an anniversary, a gala or just a date night) and your plan is built around it.
Yes. This month's lineup, all at 6:50 PM: Monday Social Patterns (a different social dance each week), Tuesday Rhythm Patterns, Wednesday West Coast Swing Patterns & Choreography, and Thursday Social Choreography. Couples are welcome. The lineup changes monthly, so ask when you book.
Something you can move in, and smooth-soled shoes such as leather-soled dress shoes. Avoid rubber-soled sneakers, which grip the floor and make turns hard. You don't need dance shoes to start.
Dance With Me Southlake is at 290 Grand Avenue in Southlake Town Square, the open-air town center off Southlake Boulevard — about 10 to 15 minutes from Colleyville, Keller, Trophy Club, Westlake, Grapevine and Roanoke, and 20 minutes from Flower Mound and North Richland Hills.
Parking is free throughout the Square, so make it a date: dinner, a lesson and a walk around the square in one trip. Running late? Call 817.251.1444 — we'd rather hold your place than have you rush across 114.
