About Beginning Ballroom Dance Lessons
Real Dancing. Real People. Since 2002.
Most people who walk through our doors have never danced before.
They're wedding couples, beginners, or adults who've always wanted to learn—but didn't know where to start.
That's exactly why Beginning Ballroom exists.
Confidence Comes First
Learning to dance isn't about having natural talent.
It's about having an instructor who meets you where you are.
Whether you're preparing for your wedding or just want to feel comfortable on the dance floor, every lesson is tailored to your goals, your timeline, and your comfort level.
No pressure. No intimidation.
Just real progress.
Experience MATTERS
Beginning Ballroom has been helping people learn to dance since 2002. I’ve worked with thousands of wedding couples and beginners — many convinced they had two left feet.
Good teaching isn’t about putting everyone through the same formula. It’s knowing what to teach, when to teach it, and how to make it work for the people in front of me.
You don’t need to know anything about dancing before you arrive. I’ve got you covered.
And if you’re convinced you have two left feet? You’re exactly the kind of student I love teaching.
A Plan Built Around You
You don’t need to know how many lessons you need before you come in. That’s part of what I’m here for.
Your first lesson gives me a chance to see how you move together, understand your goals and timeline, and learn what you want your first dance to feel like.
From there, I’ll give you my professional recommendation for what I think it will take to get you there.
More time gives us more opportunity to make your dancing comfortable, confident, and natural. Whatever time we have, we’ll use it well.
Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Lee Gedansky.
I started Beginning Ballroom because I believed dance instruction could be more personal, encouraging, and practical than many people expected.
More than twenty years later, I still teach every lesson myself.
My philosophy has never changed:
Teach real dancing to real people.
Whether you're preparing for your wedding, looking for a new hobby, or simply want to feel comfortable on the dance floor, I'll meet you where you are and guide you one step at a time.
Let's Take the First Step Together
If you've been saying,
"We've never danced before..."
you're exactly the people I love teaching.
I'd love to help you discover that you really can dance.
