ABOUT US
We are central Mississippi's largest & most popular Ballroom Dance studio and Social Dance center. We were the first dance studio to bring Salsa to Jackson & Madison in 2003 with Salsa Sundays, created Tuesday Night Ballroom dancing at several local night clubs, offered a Collegiate Ballroom Dance Course, and were the first to hold an elegant New Year's Eve dance just for dancers in Mississippi.
Presently, our Weekly & Monthly Studio Dances and our "One Dance a Month" method used for our weekly classes are very popular. We teach an "Introduction to Ballroom Dance" and "Single Step Swing Dancing" through the Millsaps College Enrichment Program. We can even come to your location with our "Mobile Classes" and offer DJ services for your dance, wedding or reunion. (Call 601.932.2374 to check for availability.)
