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?

The 4th Annual Attack Theatre Dirty Ball

Attack TheatreImage by carolclarinet via Flickr

Attack Theatre is an award winning Pittsburgh based dance/music/video perfomance group. The Dirty Ball is their annual fundraiser that is now in its fourth year. I have not yet attended the Dirty Ball but I can say with certainty that I have heard rave reviews from many people who have attended in the past. The attire for Dirty Ball is open to your interpretation – anything from garbage bags to the more risque outfits.
