 Dance any song, any style at your wedding!  Choose your own song, and we will choreograph a routine for you and your fiancé.  We also help brides and their dads get ready for the father-daughter dance.  Ballroom Dance Today will teach you a special dance with your special song for your special day!

Ballroom Dance Today offers group ballroom dance lessons for as little as $8 per person per hour, and private ballroom dance lessons for $48 per hour (whether you come alone or with a partner). 

Our instructors are trained and coached by the award-winning champions of U Can Dance of St. Ann, Missouri.  We follow the current syllabus of Dance Vision International and are committed to raising the level of each student’s dance skill in an environment of inspiration and fun. 

 Please come to class wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that allow you to turn on our wooden dance floors.  (Street shoes with minimal tread work much better than typical aerobic types.)  A bottle of water, and perhaps a towel, will help keep you energized.
