You walk in feeling uncertain about your two left feet. You leave knowing exactly how to move with purpose and poise.
That’s what happens when you learn dance the right way. Not through intimidating group settings where you’re lost in the crowd. Not with instructors who rush through steps without caring if you actually get it.
Here, you get personal attention that meets you exactly where you are. Whether you’re preparing for your wedding day, looking for a fun way to stay active, or wanting to add some social spark to your routine, you’ll discover that dance isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection, confidence, and joy.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been helping Suffolk County residents discover the joy of dance through personalized instruction that actually works. No high-pressure sales tactics or expensive packages you don’t need.
What you get instead are experienced instructors who genuinely care about your progress. We take time to understand your goals, work with your schedule, and create a supportive environment where learning feels natural.
The Setauket-East Setauket community knows they can count on us for everything from intimate wedding choreography to group classes that feel more like social gatherings than formal lessons. Because dance should enhance your life, not complicate it.
First, you’ll have a conversation with one of our instructors about what you want to achieve. No pressure, no sales pitch—just an honest discussion about your goals and how we can help you reach them.
Then we’ll create a plan that fits your schedule and learning style. Whether you prefer private lessons for personalized attention or group classes for social energy, we’ll match you with the right approach.
During lessons, you’ll learn at your own pace with instructors who break down complex moves into manageable steps. We’ll help you build muscle memory gradually, so each new skill feels natural rather than forced. You’ll practice in a welcoming environment where mistakes are part of learning, not something to be embarrassed about.

Your dance classes include comprehensive instruction in popular ballroom styles like Waltz, Foxtrot, and Tango, plus Latin dances including Salsa, Cha-Cha, and Rumba. Each lesson is tailored to your specific needs and skill level.
For wedding couples in Setauket-East Setauket, we create custom choreography that matches your chosen song and comfort level. Whether you want something simple and elegant or complex enough to wow your guests, we’ll design a routine that feels authentically you.
Suffolk County residents also appreciate our flexible scheduling options, which accommodate busy professional lives and varying availability. Group classes foster social connections within the local community, while private lessons offer intensive, personalized attention. Our studio space can also be rented for special events, making us a versatile partner for your dance-related needs.
Most couples need 4-6 private lessons to feel confident with a 3-4 minute wedding song, but this varies based on your goals and the complexity you want. If you’re looking for something simple and elegant, we can have you ready in 3-4 sessions.
For more elaborate choreography or if you want to include special moves like dips or spins, plan for 6-8 lessons. We always work at your pace, so there’s no pressure to rush through the process.
The key is starting early enough to avoid stress. We recommend beginning lessons 2-3 months before your wedding, which gives you plenty of time to practice and feel completely comfortable on your big day.
Absolutely not. Most of our students are complete beginners, and our instructors specialize in teaching people who have never danced before. We start with basic posture, simple steps, and gradually build your skills from there.
What matters more than experience is your willingness to learn and have fun. Our instructors are skilled at breaking down complex movements into easy-to-follow steps, so you’ll never feel overwhelmed or lost.
Many of our most confident dancers started as complete beginners who were nervous about their first lesson. The supportive environment we create helps you focus on learning rather than worrying about how you look or whether you’re doing it “right.”
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely—think business casual rather than workout gear. Avoid anything too loose or baggy that might get in the way of your movements.
For shoes, choose something with a smooth sole that allows you to pivot and turn easily. Leather-soled dress shoes work well for men, while women can wear low heels or flats. Avoid rubber soles, which can stick to the floor and make turning difficult.
Don’t worry about buying special dance shoes right away. Once you’ve had a few lessons and decide you want to continue, we can recommend appropriate dance footwear that will make your learning more comfortable and effective.
Our private lessons are competitively priced and offered on a pay-as-you-go basis, so you’re never locked into expensive packages or contracts you don’t want. We believe in transparent pricing that lets you learn at your own pace and budget.
Lesson costs vary based on instructor experience and lesson length, but we work with you to find an option that fits your budget. We also offer package deals for couples preparing for weddings, which can provide better value if you’re planning multiple sessions.
The investment in dance lessons pays dividends in confidence, physical fitness, and social connection. Many of our students find that the skills and joy they gain from dancing extend far beyond the dance floor into other areas of their lives.
Yes, we love working with couples who choose unique or non-traditional songs for their wedding dance. Whether it’s a rock ballad, a country song, or even something from a movie soundtrack, we can create choreography that matches the rhythm and mood of your chosen music.
Our instructors are skilled at adapting different dance styles to fit various musical genres. We’ll listen to your song, identify its rhythm and character, then design moves that complement both the music and your comfort level.
Some of our most memorable wedding dances have been to unconventional songs. The key is creating choreography that feels natural to the music while staying within your skill range, so you can focus on enjoying your moment rather than worrying about complex steps.
Yes, our group classes are perfect for people who want to learn dance skills for social situations, date nights, or just for fun. These classes cover popular ballroom and Latin dances that you’ll encounter at weddings, parties, and social events.
Group classes also provide a great way to meet other people in the Setauket-East Setauket community who share your interest in dance. The social aspect makes learning more enjoyable and gives you built-in practice partners as you develop your skills.
We structure group classes so that both beginners and those with some experience can participate comfortably. Our instructors ensure everyone gets attention and help, while the group setting keeps the energy high and the learning fun.
