Youth Program

The Des Moines Ballroom youth program provides the opportunity for young dancers, ages 4-17 to learn, perform, and compete in a wide variety of Ballroom dance styles. 

We have a range of classes to fit your child's desire and comfort level. 

​

Beginner Class (for new and returning students) meets every Saturday from 10-11 AM. Students will discover and learn the basic of two dance styles each week, and every four weeks the styles change. Dance styles include: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Rumba, Swing, Hustle, and West Coast Swing

​

​

 

 

Formation teams are a great way for your child to perform the skills they are learning in the beginner classes. Formation teams have two local performances each year, in May and November.

“Every step is part of life, and there is life in every step.  Life isn’t a race, it’s a dance.  Every step forward and every step back, stepping sidewards and twirling in circles, are all part of the dance we call life.  Great dancers are never in a hurry.  They relax into the rhythm, become one with their partners, and experience the exhilaration of the dance.” - Matthew Kelly
