Feeling inspired by Heinz Ward’s recent success of dancing with the stars?  Pittsburgh has lots of beginner friendly places that offer dance lessons.

  • Swing Pittsburgh – offers swing dancing lessons every Saturday night at 8pm, with a DJ or Band and dancing from 9pm-Midnight
  • Absolute Ballroom – offers group and private lessons 7 days a week
  • Ballroom Pittsburgh – offers ballroom dancing lessons every Thursday night at 7:30pm, with a dance from 8:30-11:30pm

What do you think? Have you taken dancing lessons here in Pittsburgh?  Where did you go?

    Absolute Ballroom is the best place to take lessons. All the instructors are very nice and professional plus you have a variety of dances to pick from. The studio itself is great and you can pick from group classes or individual programs. They have something for everybody!
