Adult Group Classes
Smooth & Ballroom Technique
Mondays
A strong foundation is the key to excellence in dance. This class is dedicated to refining the essential elements of Smooth and Ballroom technique, with a focus on frame, shaping, footwork, and movement quality. Through precise drills and guided exercises, dancers will develop balance, coordination, and the ability to move with grace and power. Whether you are looking to enhance your fundamentals or elevate your artistry, this class will help you achieve spacious, effortless movement while maintaining technical precision.
Technique, Styling & Solo Night
Tuesdays
Ladies Styling: Confidence in dance begins with understanding and embracing how your body moves. This class is a dedicated space for women to explore the art of expression through arms, posture, and body coordination. Learn how to create fluid, elegant movement while building grace, strength, and poise—because when you love the way you move, confidence follows.
Solo Technique: A great dancer is a great partner. This class focuses on personal mastery—understanding the mechanics of movement, foot placement, and timing to enhance your overall dancing. Developing strong individual technique ensures that when the moment comes to dance with a partner, you are grounded, precise, and ready. Whether you’re preparing for competition or simply striving to improve, this class will help you build confidence in your movement and deepen your connection to the dance.
Latin Technique & Performance
Intermediate/Advanced
Saturdays
Latin dance is more than just technique—it’s about performance, presence, and musicality. This class takes dancers beyond the fundamentals, focusing on expressive movement, dynamic body action, and musical interpretation. You’ll refine your technique while learning how to bring personality and emotion into your dancing. Every step, every turn, and every movement will be shaped by rhythm, energy, and artistry, helping you build a compelling presence on the dance floor.
Supervised Practice Rounds
Every Thursday evening
DC DanceSport Academy offers supervised practice Latin rounds for dancers and competitors on Thursdays. These rounds provide critical feedback for dancers and allow competitors to practice their routines, endurance, and floor craft.
