Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been Suffolk County’s go-to dance destination because we understand what you’re really looking for. Not just steps and technique, but the confidence to use them.
Our instructors aren’t just technically skilled—we’re the kind of people who remember what it felt like to be nervous about dancing. We’ve worked with everyone from complete beginners to couples preparing for their wedding day, and we know how to meet you exactly where you are.
Located right in Freetown, NY, we’ve built our reputation on something simple: getting real results for real people who have real lives. No pretension, no judgment, just professional instruction that actually works.
It starts with a consultation where you talk about what you actually want to accomplish. Not what we think you should learn, but what matters to you. Whether that’s nailing your wedding dance, feeling confident at social events, or just having fun with your partner.
From there, your instructor creates a plan that fits your schedule and learning style. You can choose private lessons for faster progress and personalized attention, or group classes if you prefer learning alongside others. Both options give you the same professional instruction and supportive environment.
The real difference happens in how we teach. Instead of overwhelming you with complex moves, we break everything down into manageable steps. You build confidence gradually, mastering the basics before moving on. By the time you’re done, dancing feels natural instead of forced.

No partner required. Many students start classes solo and either rotate with other students during group classes or work one-on-one with instructors during private lessons.
Our instructors are experienced at teaching individuals and will help you feel comfortable whether you’re learning lead or follow techniques. If you do have a partner, great—you can learn together. If not, you’ll still get the full experience and can always bring a partner to future lessons once you’ve built some confidence.
This approach works especially well for people who want to surprise their partner with new dance skills or those whose partners aren’t quite ready to start lessons yet.
Most students feel comfortable with basic steps and simple patterns within 4-6 private lessons or 6-8 group classes. This gives you enough foundation to dance socially and feel confident on the dance floor.
Wedding couples typically need 6-10 lessons to master a custom choreographed first dance, depending on the complexity of the routine and how much practice time they have between lessons. The key is consistent practice and realistic expectations about what you want to accomplish.
Your progress depends on factors like how often you practice, your natural rhythm, and whether you choose private or group instruction. Private lessons typically accelerate learning because of the personalized attention and customized pace.
We specialize in ballroom dances like Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot, plus Latin dances including Salsa, Cha-Cha, Rumba, and Bachata. We also teach social dances and can create custom choreography for weddings and special events.
Each style has its own character and learning curve. Waltz is often easiest for beginners because of its slower tempo and simple rhythm. Latin dances like Salsa offer more energy and are great for people who want to move to contemporary music.
We help you choose styles that match your goals, whether that’s preparing for a specific event, improving your social dancing, or just exploring different types of music and movement. You’re not locked into one style—many students enjoy learning multiple dances over time.
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely—no need for special dance attire for your first lesson. Avoid jeans or restrictive clothing that might limit your range of motion.
For shoes, choose something with a smooth sole that lets you pivot and glide. Leather-soled dress shoes work well for men, while women can wear low heels or flats. Avoid rubber soles or sneakers that might grip the floor too much and make turning difficult.
As you progress, you might want to invest in actual dance shoes, but regular dress shoes work fine for learning basics. The most important thing is feeling comfortable and confident in whatever you’re wearing.
Private lessons typically range from $75-$120 per session, depending on the instructor and package options. Group classes are more affordable, usually running $20-$30 per class, with discounts available for multi-class packages.
Wedding dance packages often include multiple private lessons at a reduced per-lesson rate. Many couples find this the most cost-effective way to prepare for their first dance while getting the personalized attention they need.
We offer flexible payment options and package deals that can reduce the per-lesson cost. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss pricing options that fit your budget and learning goals. Most students find the investment worthwhile for the confidence and skills they gain.
Yes, custom wedding choreography is one of our specialties. We work with couples to create a routine that matches their chosen song, skill level, and comfort zone.
The process starts with listening to your music and discussing what kind of dance you envision—elegant and simple, or more elaborate with lifts and spins. We’ll choreograph something that looks impressive but feels manageable, ensuring you both feel confident on your wedding day.
Most wedding couples need 6-10 lessons to master their routine, though this varies based on the complexity of the dance and how much practice time you have. We also provide tips for managing nerves and performing in front of guests, making sure your first dance is a highlight of your celebration.
