About Our Program
Thanks to shows like Dancing With The Stars, ballroom or social dancing has come back into the American cultural spotlight. Couples, singles, teens, and folks in their golden years are discovering the exercise and fun of couple dancing.

In response, MarLo Dance Studio began a separate ballroom program to meet this clamoring need. Classes focus on a single dance for 6 weeks. Enough time for the dancer to have a social handle on the given dance. It is our goal to offer more than just steps, but techniques that will allow social dancers to dance together with ease.

Dances we offer, but not limited to include: Waltz, Foxtrot, Swing, Rumba, ChaCha, Hustle, Salsa, Tango, and Night Club 2 Step.

Performance Troupe
By invitation or request audition. Eight positions (4 leads, 4 follows) with 2 alternates. Interested individuals will be enrolled in ballroom classes.

Commonly Asked Questions

Question: How old do I have to be to take ballroom class?
Answer: Minimum 13 years old and in the 8th grade.

Question: Do I need a partner?
Answer: Yes and no. Couple dancing involves both a lead (usually a guy) and a follow (usually a girl). Singles will be ready to learn both roles if an extra lead or follow is not enrolled. Rotating partners is encouraged, but not required.

Question: Do I have to dress up?
Answer: Dress in whatever manner is comfortable for you.

Question: Do I need special shoes?
Answer: Yes. You will need suede soled ballroom shoes. To purchase try: www.allaboutdance.com/marlo

Ladies should opt for 2" or lower heels. Specialty split sole dance sneakers will also be acceptable practice shoes. Sock feet permitted for first session.

Question: Why do I need ballroom Shoes?
Answer: Two part answer. Street shoes scratch and dirty our dance floor surface. Secondly, ballroom shoes are designed to aide dancing and not inhibit its movement. Whether professional or recreational, it is a matter of the right tool for the right job!
