We have classes that fit different abilities. Ask which class is best for you.
Ballroom Basics for Balance™ (BB4B) – This is our original, core curriculum! A mix of levels from beginner to experienced. You move independently, with or without the help of a device like a cane or walker. You may want a spotter every once in a while, or you may not need one at all.
BB4B: Inclusive – These classes are tailored to specific groups or specific locations, such as assisted living, adults with developmental disabilitiess, or all-seated experiences!
BB4B: Next Steps – If you feel you are an experienced mover or have taken a few of our classes before, this one is for you!
