Spotlight Ballroom

Want to learn to dance, but not quite sure where to start?

Start with a free introductory private lesson at Spotlight Ballroom! You’ll get one-on-one time with an instructor who can help you find the dances you’ll enjoy, answer your questions, and get you moving at a pace that feels comfortable. And help you navigate which classes would be best for you.

No dance experience? Perfect. Two left feet? We’ve heard that one before. No partner? You don’t need one!

Our goal is to make learning to dance fun, easy, and welcoming from the very first step. Come see what dancing at Spotlight is all about!

Sign up for your free introductory private lesson at SpotlightBallroom.com or call/text us at (916) 649-3269

Want to perform in the Fall Showcase, but not ready to do a whole showpiece? Join the Class Demonstration!

The Class Demo is a fun, low-pressure way to be part of the showcase, and the choreography will be taught right in your September classes. Each level will perform a different dance:

Level 1: Tango
Level 2: Tango
Level 2/3: Cha Cha
Level 3: Hustle

And don’t worry, we’re not asking you to learn a full 3-minute routine! Each demo will be around 30 seconds long and use just a few figures from your level. You’ll learn the figures and choreography during class throughout September, then have a few additional Sunday practices to put everything together:

Sunday, September 27 at 1:15pm
Sunday, October 4 at 1:15pm
Sunday, October 11 at 1:15pm

Whether this is your first time performing or you’ve done showcases before, the Class Demo is a great opportunity to experience dancing in the show alongside your classmates.

Registration is available at www.SpotlightBallroom.com and is due by September 17, 2026. Sign up and join us on the showcase floor!

Tuesdays in September are full of ballroom, Latin, and club styles! Start the evening with some sweat in Zumba, then add some new figures and techniques to your repertoire. We've got classes for all levels!

Spend your Saturdays (and Sunday) on the dance floor at Spotlight! We've got a lesson before each social to teach you some new moves, then our DJ will spin some tunes to get you dancing. Social dancing is all about having fun, so come on out and show us your moves!

Learn something new, meet new people, and have a great time!
