Group Classes... Groups classes supplement your private instruction. They allow you to practice the steps you've learned in a controlled environment, work on your lead and follow with various partners, and get that practice time "you keep saying you're gonna do." Typically we have at least one beginning, intermediate, and advanced class in each different style (like latin/salsa, swing, ballroom, country) each week.

Practice Parties... Practice Parties are our monthly "battle conditions" at the studio. You can come to socialize and give your steps a try before going out on your own... this is the most upscale nightlife available to the dance community. Our teachers are there to help you with your floorcraft and just "let loose" in a dance studio/lesson atmosphere. And at least once a month we even make an event out of it as we transform into Club Promenade... we even bring in Live Musicians, donate proceeds to local charities, and more!

Congratulations on your big day!

We specialize in first dance wedding choreography that is easy to remember and won't become one more stress in your life.

Pick The Perfect Song... Just as weddings have become more unique, so have first wedding dances. Ask yourself: "what song makes me think only of my fiance? What song makes us want to share that moment together?" Though the traditional wedding waltz and foxtrot are still popular, today's contemporary slow songs, Top 40's music, and even Classic Rock and Roll, and Country music, all have dances associated with them. Find what you like, and we'll do the rest. The newest trend... start with a traditional slow dance, and then cut it loose to a hot Salsa, Swing, Tango, or Hip Hop! If you need some help finding songs, see our sample song list.

How Soon Before Should We Take Lessons? As soon as possible! Though you may think it should be last on your list, remember that only three things will stay with you after the wedding: your love, the rings, and your ability to dance. Take the time to do it right, not have it be "another thing we gotta do." Though we often do it in less than a month, we suggest coming in around 4 to 6 months in advance of the big day. And then come for a touch up the week before. Having a theme wedding?.. How about even having us show the bridal party and your parents a thing or two? Don't forget about the father-daughter and mother-son dance.

What To Look For In A Dance Studio... How about a teacher that is a certified professional, and who specializes in wedding couples. You are at the right place. Promenade teachers teach more wedding couples and do more wedding dances than any other Orange County dance studio! We take every detail into account so that you can have the most memorable dance that the crowd will love, you can easily dance, and you can continue to share for years down the road. With your private lessons, we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee that you will be pleased with your final product! Plus, want to share the romance of dancing.... your lessons can be a date night on beautiful Balboa Island!

Why Do Wedding Dances Always Look So Bad? Your wedding dance doesn't have to look like the Jr. Prom. With a great intro and ending, some fancy steps, the proper fame, and lead and follow, you can transform the dull hunched-over swaying back-and-forth into a beautiful, flowing demonstration of grace and romance. You'll be amazed how easy and fun it is to learn the right way, and how fast you'll be able to do it. Remember... this is what we specialize in!

What About The Rest Of The Reception? So you like Alternative, Hip Hop, Top 40's, Heavy Metal, Latin, or Country music? Not only can we show you the basics needed to make your song special, we actually suggest that you learn a variety of dances, so that you can dance to everything at the reception and beyond. How about a slow dance, some swing, some salsa? Where ever you go, you two can share your gift of dance! You have always said that you wanted to learn to dance, so your wedding is your excuse! Put in the investment that will pay dividends for the rest of your lives together.

This is the most special moment in your newly married life. It is the first wedding ritual you two will share as a married couple that you will continue to use and cherish together... it will remind you of the romance that brought you together to date and become engaged in the first place.

Since we specialize in teaching for weddings, we know that every couple and every wedding is different. We will take your strengths to make the best "show dance" we can. Bring your own song, or let us find something for you that fits your personality. Here are a few suggestions.

More Fun & Enjoyment... The first thing you'll realize is how much fun it is to learn to dance! The rhythms, partnership, atmosphere, movements, and music, come together to make one of the most satisfying experiences you'll ever have.

Increase Romance... The beauty of social dancing lies in the intimate personal contact between two people. This makes every partnership special and grow stronger with time. Dancing is a skill that the two of you will share for the remainder of your lives. Ignite a new spark, or fan the flame that has been burning... dancing can make every dream and desire come true. And what's more romantic that a dance lessons on Balboa Island anyway?

Exercise and Lose Weight... Studies have shown partner dancing exerts just as much energy as swimming or running. Become healthier & more fit, just by having the time of your life! Exercise has become the leading reason people have learned to social dance. Can you really dance yourself to health? See here.

Meet New Friends... Since learning to dance is skill that stay with you for the rest of you life, the benefit of being able to continuously meet new people will never disappear. Dancing is a social activity! Meeting new and exciting people is half the fun. Promenade is the perfect stop to meet a new group of friends to share your new hobby with, just go out for a drink, or meet that special someone.

Relieve Stress And Improve Self Confidence... The physical exertion of dancing and the atmosphere of live dancing, creates one of the most effective stress releases available. Social dancing is the best way to relax, while also developing a new hobby.

Improve Yours Golf Swing? Yes, the fun of learning to dance, improves every aspect of your daily life. You'll stand more proud, feel healthier, and gain more self control in everything you do. Dancing is the only true all-around activity that improves both physical and mental well-being. Learning to dance increases grace, poise, and posture. The dancer who can hold his own in any social situation will quickly and easily convert this to all aspects of life!

Everyone learns to dance for various reasons... determined to start a new hobby you have been promising yourself, wanna lose weight, increase self-confidence, have more fun from your social life, or even meet that special someone? The Orange County Promenade has everything you need to meet all of your goals and desires.

You used to only be able to dream about your wishes coming true... now you can dance them into existence!

Just decide what you want and with the new positive image that learning to dance will bring you... it can be yours! Learning to dance pays dividends for the rest of your life!

How many lessons does it take to learn to dance? Now that's an impossible question to answer, however... That depends upon a number or factors, like: the number of dances you would like to learn; if you keep a consistent schedule with your lessons; and your individual strengths and weaknesses. The quickest way is just to come in and have fun... your lessons should not be stressful, they should be fun and relaxing... that's how you'll get further, quicker.

What makes Promenade Think it's so good? Well, we don't like to pat our own backs (okay, yes we do)... We specialize in teaching all levels from beginners up to professionals in all styles of dance, including ballroom, latin and salsa, swing, country, dancesport, and more. All Promenade teachers are professionally certified through a recognized National Dance Counsel of America training program. Our teachers have been featured on TV, movies, live shows, concerts, won U.S. and World Championships, and more. See them here. We know how to make your learning experience both fun and easy, while also teaching you the newest and hottest steps and techniques! Don't be fooled by other studios that try to pretend that they something they are not... Promenade trains more new students to become dancers than *ANY* other dance studio in Orange County!

How much do dance lessons cost? That's really up to you, but check out Our Pricing Page Here. Your first private lesson is Only $20! After your introductory session, that can vary among the different programs. We understand that money is always an issue, and private lesson programs will cost more than group lessons, but on your introductory session, we will plan with you to find the best solution for meeting your goals. With our three part method of teaching including private lessons, group lessons, and practice parties, you could spend as little as $10 for a group class or practice party, $80 for a private lesson with a fully personally designed program incorporating everything we do. The goal of the introductory session is to find the best way we can make you the dancer to desire to become. Also, our private lesson rates are based on the teacher's time, not the number of people, so for you couples, it's like getting a 2-for-1 deal!

What should I/we wear? Wear what is comfortable. Most people dress "nicely casual." When first learning you don't need special shoes, however, dress shoes and high heels with leather soles have a tendency to stick much less to the floor than shoes with rubber soles. As you get to more advanced levels, it's not a bad idea to invest in real dance shoes and practice dance wear. But at the beginning, comfort is best. Come ready for some fun!

Do I need a dance partner? Of course learning to dance with a partner has it's advantages, but we are around 50/50 singles and couples... you'll be right at home in an atmosphere where you can meet other singles or couples. Remember, dancing is a "social" activity. Improve your life... learn to dance!

I heard you have to sign a contract to take dance lessons? Well, our competitors will make you think so. We believe that our system of teaching will always keep you moving in the right direction while having the time of your life doing it! Our goal... un-employ ourselves! Our professional teachers know how to make you the type of dancer you want to be in as short a time as possible, and get you there to the best of your abilities.

Evelyn resolved that in 1994 she’d exercise regularly. But it’s only the beginning of the new year and she’s already bored with her new stationary bike. The rowing machine and treadmill at the YMCA hold little appeal. When a friend coaxed her to go along for an evening of free dance lessons, she realized exercise doesn’t have to be a chore.

It’s true. Whether you’re swirling across the dance floor to a Strauss Waltz or doing do-si-dos to the commands of a square dance caller, you’re getting exercise - and probably having fun too.

From burning calories to socializing with friends, dancing offers these health benefits:

Calories - Dancing can burn as many calories as walking, swimming or riding a bicycle. During a half-hour of dancing you can burn between 200 and 400 calories. One factor that determines how many calories you’ll expend is the distance you travel. In, one study, researchers attached pedometers to square dancers and found that each person covered five miles in a single evening.

Cardiovascular Conditioning - Regular exercise can lead to a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure and improved cholesterol profile. Experts typically recommend 30 - 40 minutes of continuous activity three or four times a week. Dancing may not provide all the conditioning you need, but it can help. The degree of cardiovascular conditioning depends on how vigorously you dance, how long you dance continuously, and how regularly you do it.

Strong Bones - The side to side movements of many dances strengthens you weight bearing bones (tibia, fibula and femur) and can help prevent or slow loss of bone mass (osteoporosis).

Rehabilitation - If you’re recovering from heart or knee surgery, movement may be part of your rehabilitation. Dancing is a positive alternative to aerobic dancing or jogging.

Sociability - Dancing contains a social component that solitary fitness endeavors don’t. It gives you an opportunity to develop strong social ties which contribute to self-esteem and a positive outlook.

Tomorrow night when you consider settling down for a little television, turn on the music instead. After a few spins around the living room, you’ll have so much fun you may forget you’re exercising.

You used to only be able to dream about your wishes coming true... now you can dance them into existence!

Just decide what you want and with the new positive image that learning to dance will bring you... it can be yours! Learning to dance pays dividends for the rest of your life!
