You’ll walk onto any dance floor knowing exactly what you’re doing. No more standing on the sidelines or awkward swaying. Our students develop real skills that translate into confidence whether it’s your wedding day, a social event, or just date night.
The difference shows immediately. You’ll move with purpose, connect with your partner naturally, and actually enjoy being the center of attention. That nervous energy transforms into excitement because you know you’ve got this.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been helping Suffolk County residents discover their rhythm and confidence through dance. Our approach focuses on what actually works – personalized instruction that meets you where you are, not where some curriculum thinks you should be.
Located in the heart of Calverton, we serve dancers from across Long Island who want instruction that’s both professional and approachable. Our community understands that everyone starts somewhere, and our goal is helping you get where you want to go.
Everything starts with understanding what you want to achieve. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, looking for a new hobby, or wanting to surprise someone special, your instructor maps out a plan that makes sense for your timeline and goals.
Your lessons happen in a private space where you can focus without distractions. No sharing time with other students or feeling rushed. Each session builds on the last, with your instructor adjusting the pace based on how quickly you’re picking things up.
Practice happens naturally as you learn. By the time you’re ready to show off your new skills, the moves feel automatic because you’ve built them step by step with guidance that actually helps.

Your wedding dance becomes the highlight everyone talks about for years. Custom choreography means your first dance reflects your personality and style, not some generic routine that looks like everyone else’s.
Suffolk County couples choose Ballroom Factory because our choreography process focuses on what you can realistically master while still creating something special. The result is a dance that looks impressive but feels comfortable to perform.
Group classes and practice sessions complement private lessons, giving you chances to practice in a social setting before the big day. Friday evening sessions let you refine your skills and build confidence with other dancers who understand exactly what you’re going through.
Most couples need 6-8 lessons to feel confident with their wedding dance, spread over 2-3 months. This timeline gives you enough practice without overwhelming your wedding planning schedule.
If you’re complete beginners, starting 4-6 months before your wedding gives you breathing room to really master the choreography. Couples with some dance experience might need fewer lessons, but the key is starting early enough that you’re not stressed about it as your wedding approaches.
No dance experience necessary. The majority of our students start as complete beginners, and our instruction is designed specifically for people who have never danced before.
Your instructor breaks down every movement into manageable pieces, so you’re never trying to learn something that feels impossible. Our teaching method focuses on building confidence alongside technique, which means you’ll feel comfortable with the basics before moving to more complex moves.
Different learning speeds are completely normal, and our experienced instructors know how to work with this. The private lesson format allows for individual attention to each partner’s needs without holding anyone back.
Your instructor will give specific guidance to each person based on their natural abilities and challenges. Sometimes one partner needs more work on leading, while the other focuses on following. The goal is getting both of you comfortable and confident together, regardless of how you each get there.
Absolutely. Bringing your chosen song to lessons ensures your choreography fits perfectly with the music you’ll actually dance to. Your instructor works with any song to create choreography that matches the tempo and mood.
If you haven’t chosen music yet, your instructor can recommend songs that work well for different dance styles and skill levels. The key is finding music that you both love and that allows for the type of dance you want to learn.
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely is most important. Avoid anything too loose that might get in the way, but you don’t need special dance attire for lessons.
For shoes, wear something with a smooth sole that allows you to pivot and turn. Ladies should practice in shoes similar to what they’ll wear for their event. Sneakers with rubber soles can make turning difficult, so leather-soled shoes or dance shoes work better for most styles.
Yes, we offer group classes and practice sessions that complement private instruction perfectly. Many students use group classes to practice what they’ve learned privately and to get comfortable dancing around other people.
Friday evening practice sessions give you a chance to work on your skills in a social setting with other dancers. It’s a great way to build confidence before your special event and to continue improving after you’ve mastered your initial goals.
