Something we hear ALL the time when talking with wedding couples isโ€ฆ โ€œWe have two left feet!โ€๐Ÿ’

And our answer? Thatโ€™s totally okay!

You donโ€™t need any dance experience to take First Dance lessons. Whether youโ€™ve been dancing for years or your very first lesson with us is the first time youโ€™ve ever danced together, weโ€™ll meet you right where you are.

Our goal is to help you feel comfortable dancing together, build your confidence, and give you the skills to enjoy your First Dance instead of worrying about what to do when the music starts. โค๏ธ

Because your First Dance doesnโ€™t have to be perfectโ€”it should feel like you.

Getting married in 2026 or 2027? Weโ€™d love to get you on the dance floor! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ

Check out Sam & Joey on the dance floor! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ

Want to learn to dance like this? It all starts with taking that very first step!

One of the things we love most about ballroom dance is that everyone comes to the dance floor for a different reason. Maybe you want to...

โค๏ธ Find your community โ€” meet new people and make connections along the way
๐ŸŽ‰ Dance socially โ€” feel confident getting out on the floor at parties, events, and nights out
โœจ Learn something new โ€” build a new skill, challenge yourself, and see just how far you can go
๐Ÿ† Set a goal โ€” work toward a performance or even step onto the competition floor

Whatever brings you to ballroom, thereโ€™s a place for you at Des Moines Ballroomโ€”from your very first class to wherever you decide to take your dancing.

All you have to do is take the first step. The possibilities are endless! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ

๐Ÿ‚ Fall classes are starting soon!
