Dance clubs in the US???

[daley]

As some of you may know from my previous posts, I was born and raised in Austria, where I also learned ballroom dancing. In Austria, dancing is a rite of passage for many teens, and virtually everybody I know/knew is familiar with the basic steps of most standard and Latin dances.

I already know that this is not the case in the US. However, the thing that always shocks me is the price of lessons in this country! In Austria and Germany, I was a member of a Tanzclub (literally translated, a dance club) for about 200 Euros per person per year. There was a minimal fee of 3 Euros for lessons and free access to the floor space. The level of instruction was excellent, and it was fun. We were mostly social dancers, but there were some competitive couples as well.

Do you know of similar institutions (outside of universities) in the US? I find the prices of dance studios utterly ridiculous. My husband and I are not interested in competition dancing, but enjoy high level social dancing. We are not really interested in courses for the general community as they tend to focus on ballroom basics...Ideally, what we are looking for is something like my former dance club in Vienna

Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Within the following pages you  will be able to find at least a few of the places in the United States which feature country music. Gradually we hope to expand this list to include all the clubs so that visitors anywhere in the U.S.A. can find places to enjoy their dancing while traveling. We will need your help to accomplish this task as clubs open and close at a bewildering pace. If you know of a club or dance hall not listed please have them get in touch. This is a free listing for any night club or dance hall which features country music and country dancing
