WELCOME TO ROSE CITY BALLROOM! WHETHER YOUR ASPIRATIONS ARE TO COMPETE AND PERFORM OR JUST GET BY ON THE DANCE FLOOR YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!

Check out what some of our students have said:

“I’m ‘havin’ a ball’ at Rose City Ballroom!!  All the instructors are fun, patient & enthusiastic.  There is a great sense of community and camaraderie amongst the students as well.  The practice parties and trips to the Skyroom are a great way to make use of the skills you learn in private lessons & group classes! Whether you are interested in dancing socially or training to compete Rose City Ballroom is the place to be!”

- Kelly Etter

“I have been taking group and individual lessons here for about 6 months. I was a rank beginner, and as you might imagine…. that was initially very intimidating. But the staff and other, more experienced students are extremely friendly and welcoming. Suffice it to say, I have learn a ton about all of the ballroom styles, and have -GASP- even gone out dancing in public. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

There is an excellent mix of “reaching out to the grassroots” with seriously (seriously!) professional expertise. I have liked and admired all of the teachers, and have found Laurel, who instructs both individuals, couples, and groups, to be extremely effective at teaching both the athletic and artistic aspects of the various dances.”  - Jared Leadbetter

“I have had a blast learning ballroom dances at Rose City Ballroom. I enjoy going after work because it’s conveniently  located by my office, and it’s a great way to end my day. It’s much more fun than going to the gym.

The teachers are patient and fun. When I took my first lesson I thought I would be doing this short term and now I am hooked. If you are interested in learning to dance I highly recommend Rose City Ballroom. You won’t be disappointed.”  - Paula Darlas

“RCB can cater to be most novice beginners all the way to the seasoned pros.  I started there a few months ago, and I couldn’t be happier!  I really feel like I’ve found a dance home with the studio.  I really do love it here.  If you’re looking for a place to dance socially, you found it.  If you’re looking for a place to learn technique, you found it.  If you’re looking for BOTH, well then you guessed it, RCB is just that fantastic. ”   – Maren Mack

“Where do I begin…I have always loved to watch people dance and always dreamed of dancing but did not think I could learn or even have the chance to learn.  When I started lessons at the encouragement of a friend, and with the encouragement of the instructors I am learning to dance.  I have had more fun since I have been a student at Rose City Ballroom and I feel that my self confidence is getting better.  I now can say that dancing is an amazing experience and exciting activity.  When you are dancing -welllll – it is like a fairytale!

I cannot wait to dance each week at the Thursday night parties, but even better I cannot wait for my next weekly lesson.  My only regret…I cannot take more lessons, dance more, do more with the entire dancing experience.  The team of instructors at the Rose City Ballroom is so talented, so positive, so understanding and full of encouragement you want to do participate in all they have to offer.

I look forward to learning many new dances and experiences.  It has been and is a wonderful, wonderful journey.”  - Rachel Seward

“Our first dance was an unexpected surprise for our friends and family- and it was also a big hit. It set a fun tone for our wedding and literally got everyone on the dance floor.” -Josh & Victoria
