From the reviews

If you are a person looking for a "COVID safe" recreational experience outside your home, Fort Wayne Ballroom Company is the place for you! I've danced at FWBC for a few years now and like everyone, had to stop in the spring, While I missed dancing a great deal, based on my age, it was hard to consider leaving my…

My wife and I attended private and group lessons at the Fort Wayne Ballroom Company in order to prepare ourselves for our son's wedding. The lessons were great, and effective (even though we didn't practice as much as we should have!), and our instructor, Tom, was awesome.

★★★★★ — Michael, Aug 2021

Our experience with the Fort Wayne Ballroom company has been outstanding! Chris & Kelly are fantastic teachers. We are currently taking group lessons with Chris and private lessons with Kelly. I was nervous at first because neither my fiancé or I had any skill with dancing.

★★★★★ — Tess, Oct 2019

The Fort Wayne Ballroom is a wonderful family oriented and very welcoming place to not only get the very best ball room dancing instruction (with the finest teachers) that can be found anywhere, but a warm/loving environment to meet heart-warming friends that are very encouraging to dance and fellowship with.

Your first ballet class at The Fort Wayne Ballroom Company

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
