Every month we host our YCD Social Dance Party — a lively, welcoming night where everyone comes together to dance, practice, and have fun. When the music starts and the disco ball turns on, the whole studio feels like a celebration.

Our socials include:

  • A warm, supportive environment for all experience levels

  • A quick 30 minute lesson to start the night off

  • Ballroom, Latin, Swing, and social dance music

  • Helpful instructors on the floor to guide you

  • A friendly community vibe — no partner needed!

These events are one of the best ways to build confidence, meet other dancers, and enjoy the skills you’re learning in class.

What People Are Saying

“With the friendliest staff, you will surely feel welcomed here. Best place to start learning how to dance and enjoy a variety of styles they have to offer. The best parts are the monthly socials they have.”

— Daniel B. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We are so happy we found the You Can Dance Studio community!

We started taking the Monday night group classes, alternating between Salsa and Bachata, and immediately fell in love with the fun, welcoming atmosphere. When it came time to plan our wedding, we decided to take private lessons with Sarajane for our first dance—and it ended up being one of the best parts of our entire wedding experience…”

— Karlene M. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently did a small group class at You Can Dance studio and had the best time! Sarajane took the time to talk to us about what we were looking for. She is an amazing instructor and most importantly, our young adult group had so much fun!!

Class & Socials FAQs

  • Nope! Most of our group classes are beginner‑friendly..

  • Not at all. We rotate throughout class so everyone gets a chance to dance.

  • Comfortable clothes and smooth soled shoes that stay on your feet. Ballroom shoes are great — but not required.

  • Use the Mindbody schedule at the top of this page to reserve your spot.

  • Absolutely! Our socials are designed for beginners and continuing students alike. They’re one of the best ways to build confidence, practice at your own pace, and get comfortable dancing with others in a relaxed, welcoming environment. No partner needed.

  • Totally normal — and you’re in the right place. Most of our students walk in with little to no dance experience. Our instructors are friendly, patient, and great at breaking things down so you always feel supported. You’ll never be judged here — just encouraged.
