We Are Open

WE. ARE. OPEN.

Starting Monday, June 15th, DC DanceSport Academy
will open its ballrooms.

Dancers, our transformative moment is upon us. DC DanceSport Academy’s beautiful studios and dedicated teachers are ready to re-introduce you to the dance floor as we step into this new world of DanceSport together!
DC DanceSport Academy will open its ballrooms for one-on-one lessons, and will continue to host virtual group classes for the nearterm. This hybrid dance format will allow us all to continue to adapt to the changing times, as we do our best to ensure that our students and teachers stay safe and healthy. Learn in the DCDA Virtual Ballroom, practice, and get feedback from your teachers in the studio.

We are excited to see you all as we begin to make our way back to the happy, energizing, stress-relieving, motivating routine of Ballroom and Latin dance classes and lessons at DCDA. See you on the dance floor…the REAL one!
