Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been Suffolk County’s go-to choice for quality dance instruction for years. We serve Lake Panamoka and surrounding communities with a reputation built on results, not promises.
Our instructors are working professionals who understand that your time matters. We’ve taught everyone from complete beginners to competition dancers, and we know how to get you moving confidently without wasting your time on unnecessary fluff.
Lake Panamoka residents choose Ballroom Factory because we deliver what we promise: real skills, flexible scheduling, and an environment where you can learn without pressure or judgment.
Your first lesson starts with a conversation about your goals. Wedding dance? Social dancing? Competition? We need to know where you want to end up.
Then you’ll learn the basics of your chosen style. No overwhelming choreography on day one – just the fundamental steps and timing that form the foundation of good dancing.
Each lesson builds on the previous one. You’ll add new moves, refine your technique, and practice until everything feels natural. We adjust the pace based on how quickly you pick things up.
By your final lesson, you’ll have the confidence and skills to dance anywhere. You’ll know the steps, understand the music, and most importantly, you’ll actually enjoy dancing.

Private lessons give you one-on-one attention tailored to your specific needs and learning style. No distractions, no keeping up with others – just focused instruction at your pace.
Group classes let you practice with other dancers and build confidence in a social setting. You’ll learn the same quality techniques while meeting people who share your interest in dancing.
Wedding couples get custom choreography designed around your song choice and skill level. Whether you want something simple and elegant or complex like a Dirty Dancing routine, we create something uniquely yours.
Lake Panamoka’s busy professionals appreciate our flexible scheduling. Evening and weekend options mean you can fit dance lessons into your real life without major disruptions.
No partner required for most classes. We rotate partners during group lessons so everyone gets practice leading and following with different people.
If you’re taking private lessons for a wedding or special event, you can certainly bring your partner. But if you’re learning for social dancing or personal enjoyment, coming solo is completely normal.
Many students actually prefer learning without their romantic partner initially. It eliminates any relationship dynamics and lets you focus purely on the dancing. You can always practice together at home once you’ve learned the basics.
Most wedding couples need 4-8 private lessons to feel confident with their first dance. The exact number depends on your song choice, desired complexity, and how quickly you pick up the steps.
Simple, elegant routines can be learned in 3-4 lessons. More complex choreography like lifts or dramatic dips might take 6-8 lessons. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after your first lesson.
Starting 2-3 months before your wedding gives you plenty of time to learn and practice without stress. Waiting until the last minute creates unnecessary pressure and limits what you can realistically accomplish.
We specialize in ballroom classics like Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot, plus popular Latin dances including Salsa, Cha-Cha, Rumba, and Bachata. Swing dancing and social dance fundamentals are also available.
Wedding couples often learn Foxtrot or Rumba since these styles work well with most wedding songs. Social dancers typically start with Rumba, Foxtrot, and basic Swing since these three cover most music you’ll hear at parties and events.
We’ll recommend specific styles based on your goals and the type of music you enjoy. You’re not locked into one style – many students learn multiple dances over time.
Private lessons range from $75-$120 per session depending on the instructor and package size. Group classes typically cost $15-$25 per class or $60-$100 for monthly packages.
Wedding dance packages often include 4-6 private lessons plus practice time, ranging from $400-$700 total. This covers everything you need for a confident first dance performance.
Unlike some studios, we don’t use high-pressure sales tactics or expensive long-term contracts. You pay as you go and can stop anytime. Most students find our approach more honest and budget-friendly than locked-in packages.
Absolutely. Many students start dancing in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. We work with your physical abilities and adjust our teaching style to match your learning preferences.
Ballroom dancing is actually ideal for older adults because it’s low-impact, social, and mentally engaging. You’re moving to music, learning new skills, and staying physically active without high-intensity exercise.
We maintain a welcoming environment where students of all ages feel comfortable. You’ll often find that older students are some of the most dedicated and skilled dancers in the classes.
Yes, most students start as complete beginners with no dance experience. We specialize in teaching people who have never danced before and feel nervous about starting.
Beginner lessons focus on basic steps, timing, and building confidence. You’ll start with simple movements and gradually add complexity as you become comfortable. No prior experience or natural rhythm required.
The key is finding an instructor who understands that everyone learns differently and at their own pace. Our approach eliminates the intimidation factor and makes learning genuinely enjoyable from your first lesson.
