What dance studios in New York City offer ballroom classes (more than salsa)? ?
I’m looking to learn ballroom dance, specifically latin and international styles, like mambo, cha cha and samba. I know there are A TON of salsa and merengue places, but I want more than that. And if anyone knows of any dance clubs to go to that would help! I learned salsa and merengue from going to clubs. Thank you!!
NYC is also the center of America’s ballroom scene, so you should have no problem. Have you tried the locators at http://www.ballroomdancers.com and/or http://www.accessdance.com ?
Note that in International style ballroom, mambo is considered a social variant of rumba, not one of the five Latin dances. But chances are, the studio you pick will also offer American ballroom, and mambo is very much one of the five big Rhythm dances in that genre, so it’s more a matter of terminology than a potential problem in choosing a studio.
