The Stanford Ballroom Dance Club seeks to promote ballroom dancing at Stanford in all of its forms. Our members are brought together by a shared enthusiasm for learning social dances and a "can't-stop-my-feet-from-moving" love for music. We provide dance instruction, host social dance events and organize outings to Bay Area dance establishments.

Spring Quarter Dance Schedule
 

SBDC offers a new lineup of ballroom classes each quarter. Our general classes are geared toward newcomer and intermediate students while our advanced classes provide more experienced dancers with the opportunity to focus on styling, technique, and complex patterns.

Our Level IA (Beginning) East Coast Swing and Tango class will cover East Coast Swing and Tango from the basic steps. Previous experience is a plus but not required. Kerry Kelly is back this quarter to teach this fun and upbeat class!  This is a great opportunity, not only to learn patterns, but to develop a sound musical foundation for each dance. 1:30-2:45pm.

Our Level IB (Beginning/Intermediate) Waltz and Samba class will also be taught by Kerry Kelly. This class combines two dances with very different characters: the waltz full of grace and the intense and playful samba. Come prepared to have a blast! 2:45 - 4pm.

 
Advanced Class: TBA
