FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
I'm new to dancing.  Where do I start?
If you have never tried ballroom dancing before, try our
beginner lessons, offered Thursday evenings and before our
scheduled dance parties.  Our beginner group lessons feature
smooth and Latin dances such as Foxtrot, waltz, tango, rumba,
salsa, and cha-cha.
 (Dance Lessons page has more info!)

Do I need a partner?  
No partner is required.  All are welcome – singles and
couples.  

Who dances at Carousel Ballroom?
Adults of all ages, from many walks of life, and from many
places across the Delaware Valley and Greater Philadelphia
Area dance at Carousel Ballroom.  Students ages 16 and up
are welcome at our group lessons and dance parties.  From
time to time, we offer classes for students and children
younger than 16.  Please contact us if you are interested in
lessons for children and youth.  (continued below)




















What should I wear?  
For lessons, wear comfortable attire – casual or dressy.  
Leather-soled shoes are preferred for dancing, but not
required.   For dance parties, attire ranges from nice casual to
dressy.  Leather-soled shoes are preferred.  Ballroom dance
shoes may be purchased at our spring and fall shoe sales,
featuring Elegance Dance Shoes.
 Please refrain from wearing
strong perfume and cologne.


How do I sign up?
There’s no need to sign up in advance for group classes – just
come!   Persons new to dancing should come to beginner
lessons to learn the basic steps before moving on to
intermediate level lessons.  
To sign up for private lessons, see us at group lessons or
email us at
dance@carouselballroom.com.

How many people are in group classes?
Group lessons usually average 20 to 40 people, attended by
both singles and couples (no partner needed.)  

What happens at dance parties?
Dance parties begin with a group lesson, and then are
followed by open dancing featuring the most popular ballroom
and Latin dances.  You'll enjoy our welcoming atmosphere,
where all are invited to dance.  Refreshments at dance parties
include delicious appetizers and desserts.  Bring friends or
come and make new friends.
