What makes Us Special

At DanceWell Ballroom PDX Schools, we’re all about joyful social dancing — and focused hobbyist dancing.

Here’s what people often tell us sets us apart:

• We’re one of the most eclectic studios in the Portland area. We rotate through a wide variety of social and ballroom partner dances instead of repeating the same few every month. You get to learn many different styles and actually feel like you’re growing as a dancer.
• Our prices are significantly more affordable than the big franchise studios, so you can dance regularly without it becoming expensive.
• We focus on joyful social dancing — the fun, smiling, connecting kind — along with focused hobbyist dancing, where you can really work on your technique and improve at your own pace.
• We genuinely welcome everyone. Complete beginners, returning dancers, singles, and couples all feel comfortable here.

A lot of people tell me they love how much variety and detail we put into our classes. It’s one of the things that makes DanceWell feel special.

If you ever want to level up faster or work on something specific, private lessons are always available too — many of our dancers use them as a nice boost alongside the group classes.

Come as you are. We can’t wait to dance with you!
