WHY CHOOSE
THE BALLROOM DANCE COMPANY


We are the only studio in Oregon with multiple championship level accomplished professional instructors who reliably produce Oregon’s top competitors, including multiple national title winners.


We are the largest ballroom & latin studio in the entire country , & the only northwest studio with a regulation competition size floor for competitors to learn and practice.


We offer diverse instructors. In addition to high-level competition coaching, we also have teachers who specialize in teaching wedding couples and people who have never danced before.


While most studios lump students into a very limited number of group classes a week, The Ballroom Dance Company offers over 60 hours of group classes to choose from every week.


To maximize student comfort we provide age-specific classes for children, teens, adults and seniors.


We are open and offer private lessons 7 days a week 10am-10pm .


Students from The Ballroom Dance Company compete at every available level, from local competitions through the national and world championships. Here are just a few of the most recent achievements made by our talented students with the help of their phenomenal coaches:
