What kind of dances do we teach?

We teach all 10 of the International Ballroom Dances! They are waltz, tango, Viennese waltz, slow foxtrot, and quickstep in the standard category, and samba, chacha, rumba, paso doble, and jive in the latin category. Our professional dance teachers will gradually introduce these dances to you one by one throughout the newcomer, intermediate, and advanced classes. 

Newcomer: Newcomer classes are perfect for students who have never ballroom danced before! The class material will contain Newcomer and Pre-Bronze Latin and Standard figures.
The UBC Dance Club offers three newcomer classes a week, each taught by a different teacher. We encourage students to try out each class, and discover the differing teaching styles of each teacher!
