You’ll walk away from your first lesson already moving with more confidence. No awkward shuffling or counting beats under your breath. Our instructors focus on making dance feel natural, not forced.
Within a few weeks, you’ll notice the difference. Your posture improves. Your coordination sharpens. That nervous energy you felt about dancing at weddings or social events? It transforms into genuine excitement.
The real transformation happens when you stop thinking about the steps and start feeling the music. That’s when dance becomes less about technique and more about expression, connection, and pure enjoyment.
At Ballroom Factory Dance Studio, we bring professional dance instruction to Huntington with a focus on what actually matters to you. Not just teaching steps, but building confidence and creating experiences you’ll remember.
We serve Suffolk County with instructors who understand that every student has different goals. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, looking for a new social activity, or wanting to improve your coordination, our approach is always personalized.
Located in the heart of Huntington’s vibrant arts community, we’ve become known for our welcoming atmosphere and results that show. Students don’t just learn to dance here – they discover a new way to move through the world with confidence.
Your first visit starts with a conversation about what you want to achieve. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just an honest discussion about your goals, timeline, and any concerns you might have about learning to dance.
From there, you’ll work with an instructor who matches your learning style and schedule. Lessons are structured around your pace, not a rigid curriculum. If you need more time on basics, you get it. If you’re ready to advance, you advance.
Our process focuses on building muscle memory through repetition and practice, but in a way that feels natural. You’ll learn foundational techniques first, then gradually add complexity as your confidence grows. Each lesson builds on the previous one, creating steady progress you can actually feel.

Our wedding dance choreography goes beyond basic steps. It’s about creating a moment that reflects your personality as a couple and gives you confidence on one of the most important days of your life.
Suffolk County couples often choose songs that mean something special to them, but worry about how to make it work on the dance floor. Our choreography process starts with your music choice and builds from there, incorporating moves that feel authentic to who you are as a couple.
We also offer group dance classes for those who enjoy learning alongside others. These sessions create natural opportunities for social connection while still providing quality instruction. Many Huntington residents find that our group classes become a regular part of their social routine, offering both fitness benefits and community connection in one activity.
Most couples need 4-6 lessons to feel confident with their wedding first dance, though this varies based on your song choice and comfort level. Simple, slow songs might only require 2-3 sessions, while more complex choreography could take 8-10 lessons.
The key is starting early enough to avoid stress. Beginning your lessons 2-3 months before your wedding gives you plenty of time to practice and refine your routine without pressure. You’ll have the choreography down within the first few lessons, then use remaining sessions to polish and perfect your performance.
Remember, the goal isn’t perfection – it’s confidence. Most couples find that once they know the basic structure of their dance, they can relax and enjoy the moment rather than worry about every step.
Absolutely. Most of our students start with zero dance experience, and our instruction is specifically designed for beginners. You don’t need any prior knowledge or natural rhythm – those skills develop through practice and proper guidance.
Beginning lessons focus on basic posture, simple steps, and getting comfortable with moving to music. The pace is entirely based on your comfort level, not a predetermined schedule. Some students pick up basics quickly, others need more time, and both approaches are completely normal.
Our studio environment is designed to be welcoming for new dancers. You won’t be thrown into advanced techniques or made to feel awkward about learning. Every professional dancer started exactly where you are now, and we understand how to make that first step feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
We offer instruction in ballroom styles including Waltz, Foxtrot, and Tango, as well as Latin dances like Salsa, Cha-Cha, and Rumba. These cover most wedding song choices and social dancing situations you’ll encounter.
Each style has its own character and technical requirements, but our teaching approach remains consistent – start with fundamentals and build complexity gradually. Many students begin with one style for a specific event, then branch out to others once they’ve built confidence.
Private lessons allow you to focus on exactly the styles that interest you most, while our group classes typically rotate through different dances to give everyone exposure to various options. The variety keeps lessons interesting and helps you discover which styles you enjoy most.
Flexible scheduling is a priority for us, especially for busy Suffolk County residents juggling work and family commitments. We can schedule lessons during evenings, weekends, or even lunch hours depending on instructor availability.
Private lessons offer the most flexibility since you’re working one-on-one with an instructor. Many couples preparing for weddings find that weekend sessions work best, while individuals often prefer evening appointments after work.
We understand that consistent progress matters more than rigid scheduling. If you need to reschedule occasionally or take breaks between lessons, that’s built into our process. The goal is making dance instruction work with your life, not the other way around.
Our lesson pricing varies based on whether you choose private instruction, group classes, or package deals. Private lessons typically range from $75-100 per session, while group classes are more affordable at around $20-30 per class.
Many students find that our package deals offer better value, especially for wedding preparation or ongoing instruction. These packages often include multiple lessons at a reduced per-session rate, plus additional practice time or consultation.
The investment depends on your goals and timeline. A basic wedding first dance might require $300-500 total, while ongoing social dance instruction is more of a monthly commitment. We can discuss options that fit your budget and objectives during your initial consultation.
Our group dance classes provide an excellent way to learn social dancing while meeting others who share your interest. These classes typically focus on popular ballroom and Latin styles that you’ll use at weddings, parties, and social events.
The group setting creates a fun, relaxed atmosphere where everyone is learning together. You’ll rotate partners during class, which helps you become comfortable dancing with different people and adapts your skills to various partners’ styles.
Our group classes in Huntington often become social events themselves, with many participants continuing friendships outside the studio. It’s common for class members to attend local dance events together or practice what they’ve learned at social gatherings. This community aspect is one of the biggest benefits of choosing group instruction over private lessons.
