| Ballroom Dance Lessons
Does anyone know any good places that offer ballroom dancing lessons for couples?
I want to take my gf with me as it looks pretty fun. We've been watching so you think you can dance and we want to give it a shot.
Many thanks to anyone who can point us in the right direction!

Thanks! but White Rock is a bit far for us. We're both in east van  But I'll definitely try and check it out. Maybe try the 45 minute introductory course and see if it'll be worth like the 45-1hour drive down >.>

If nothing else, the free class is worth the trip in order to see if it's something you want to pay for at another studio as well.

UBC Dance Club. You don't have to be a student (you just pay more). Many of the same instructors as Crystal Ballroom when I was a member, though that may have changed. www.ubcdanceclub.com |

Good teacher for the younger crowds. http://www.grandballroom.com/content.php?SectionID=2 |

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I think we're gonna do it at the grand ballroom. They have the 2 for 1 special going on so its a pretty good deal.
