Grace has a tempo. We teach you to keep it.
Ballroom waltz and formal etiquette, taught to our community — posture, frame, dress, and the table. Public events are open to everyone. Members study with us all year.
Come to an evening
You do not have to be a member, and you do not have to know how to dance. Come and watch, meet the instructors and students, and see the program for yourself.
- Free public workshops for newcomers
- Student showcases through the year
- The annual gala, in formal dress
Study with us all year
Registered members get the student portal: video lessons in waltz and etiquette, worked through at your own pace, plus private member events and member pricing in the store.
- Posture, frame, and the six-count box step
- The place setting, the introduction, the reply
- Dress standards for every occasion
The whole waltz is six counts. The rest is how you carry them.
Forward, side, close. Back, side, close. Two measures of three-four time, and every figure in the waltz is built on top of it.
