Tuition and Fees

For seven years, Joy of Dance has been educating and training students who have gone on to teach and spread the word about the amazing life benefits of ballroom dancing. We are proud of our graduates. Their passion and commitment to dance is infectious, joyful and endless. Ballroom dancing is an extremely unique dance style. The roles of leader and follower are a mirror to our roles in life. At Joy of Dance, we believe every dancer benefits from learning both roles, even if they never teach. Understanding the delicacy and intricate threads of movement between a leader and follower makes us all better dancers.

Today, ballroom dancing is the number one form of dance among adults and is widely covered by the media. It is also now being offered as an alternative to physical education to high school and college students - a good indicator that ballroom dancing will remain a favorite activity for years to come.

We look forward to you joining our healthy, happy and supportive learning environment. We are passionate about our college program and our students feel that commitment.
