You’ll walk into any social event or wedding with complete confidence. No more standing on the sidelines watching others dance while you wish you knew how.
Your first dance as newlyweds becomes a magical moment instead of something you’re dreading. Every step feels natural because you’ve practiced with an instructor who understands exactly what you need.
Whether it’s a company party, family celebration, or date night, you’ll actually look forward to the music starting. That’s what happens when you learn from experienced instructors who focus on your individual goals rather than pushing you through a one-size-fits-all program.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been transforming nervous beginners into confident dancers throughout Suffolk County for years. Our Mount Sinai location serves the entire North Shore community with personalized instruction that actually works.
What sets us apart isn’t just our experience—it’s our approach. While other studios pressure you into expensive packages, we focus on what you actually need to succeed on the dance floor.
Mount Sinai residents choose us because we understand the local lifestyle. Busy professionals, engaged couples planning weddings, and empty nesters looking for new hobbies all find exactly what they’re looking for here. We’ve choreographed hundreds of first dances and helped countless individuals discover the joy of social dancing.
Your journey starts with a consultation where we discuss your goals, timeline, and any concerns you might have. No pressure, no sales pitch—just an honest conversation about what you want to achieve.
During your first lesson, you’ll meet your instructor and start with the basics that matter most for your specific situation. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, want to feel confident at social events, or simply love the idea of dancing, we tailor everything to your needs.
Each lesson builds naturally on the last. You’ll practice at your own pace, ask questions freely, and actually enjoy the learning process. Most students are surprised by how quickly they progress when the instruction is designed specifically for them rather than following a rigid curriculum that doesn’t match their goals.

Your ballroom dance lessons in Mount Sinai, NY include personalized instruction from experienced professionals who understand how to teach real people, not just advanced dancers. We offer Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, Rumba, Salsa, and Bachata lessons tailored to your schedule and learning style.
We offer both private dance lessons for focused, individual attention and group dance classes where you can practice with others and build confidence in a social setting. Many Mount Sinai residents love our Friday practice sessions—they’re a great way to use what you’ve learned and meet other dancers in the community.
Suffolk County couples especially appreciate our wedding dance lessons and custom choreography service. We’ll create a unique routine that matches your song, your skill level, and your vision for that special moment. Whether you want a simple first dance or an elaborate performance, we make it happen without the stress.
Most couples need 6-8 private dance lessons to feel completely confident with their wedding dance, but this depends on your song choice and how elaborate you want the choreography to be. If you’re starting with a simple slow dance, you might feel ready after just 3-4 lessons.
For Mount Sinai couples planning their wedding, we recommend starting lessons about 2-3 months before your big day. This gives you plenty of time to learn the steps, practice together, and make any adjustments without feeling rushed.
We’ve worked with couples who had just two weeks to prepare, and we’ve also worked with those who wanted six months of lessons. The key is being honest about your timeline so we can create a plan that gets you ready without unnecessary stress.
Not at all. Many of our Mount Sinai students come to lessons on their own and do perfectly well. Our instructors are skilled dance partners who can lead or follow as needed, so you’ll get plenty of practice regardless of whether you bring someone with you.
If you’re single and want to learn social dancing, individual lessons are actually ideal because you’ll learn to dance with different partners and adapt to various leading or following styles. This makes you a better social dancer overall.
For our group dance classes, we often rotate partners anyway, so coming alone means you’ll get to practice with multiple people and build confidence dancing with different partners. Many lasting friendships have started in our group classes among solo dancers.
Comfortable clothes that let you move freely are perfect for your first lesson. Think business casual rather than workout clothes—you want to feel good about how you look while still being able to move naturally.
For shoes, avoid anything with rubber soles that might stick to the floor. Leather-soled dress shoes work well for men, and women can wear low heels or flats with smooth soles. If you don’t have appropriate shoes, don’t worry—we can recommend where to find them locally in Suffolk County.
As you progress in your ballroom dance lessons, you might want to invest in proper dance shoes, but there’s no need to buy anything special for your first few lessons. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident.
Our private lesson rates are competitive with other Suffolk County dance studios, and we never require you to purchase expensive packages upfront. You pay for lessons as you take them, which gives you complete control over your investment.
Group dance classes are significantly less expensive than private lessons and are a great way to practice what you’ve learned while meeting other dancers. Many students combine both private and group lessons for the best learning experience.
We’re happy to discuss pricing during your initial consultation because the cost depends on your specific goals, timeline, and how many lessons you’ll need. Unlike some studios, we’ll never pressure you into buying more lessons than you actually want.
We teach all the popular ballroom and Latin dance styles including Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Cha-Cha, Rumba, Salsa, Bachata, and Swing. Most Suffolk County residents start with either Waltz for weddings or Salsa for social dancing, but we can teach whatever interests you most.
For wedding couples, we often recommend starting with Waltz or Rumba since these work well with most wedding songs. If you have a more upbeat song, Swing or Cha-Cha might be perfect. We’ll listen to your song and suggest the best dance style to match.
Social dancers often love learning Salsa, Bachata, and Swing because these are popular at local venues and events throughout Long Island. We can help you choose the styles that match your goals and the type of dancing you’re most likely to do.
Absolutely. We’ve created custom choreography for anniversary parties, quinceañeras, corporate events, and even surprise performances for family celebrations. Mount Sinai families often come to us when they want to create something special and memorable.
The process is similar to wedding dance lessons—we discuss your vision, work with your music choice, and create something that matches your skill level and comfort zone. Whether it’s a father-daughter dance, a surprise performance, or a group routine, we can make it happen.
Many Suffolk County residents also rent our studio space for private events and parties. We can provide both the venue and the instruction if you want to include dancing as part of your celebration. It’s a unique way to make any gathering more memorable.
