Dancing on the Suncoast has been teaching ballroom, Latin, and Swing dance in the Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas since 2001. We believe in quality training and have a selection of dance styles from which you to choose from. You can come alone or with a partner for the same price.
The agenda begins with learning the steps and then how to lead or follow. You will love your dancing after completing the program tailored to your goals. We guarantee you will feel the spark with every dance lesson! We show you fun moves to enjoy with your partner and different ways to enjoy the dance journey together.
Private lessons give you faster results
Most people need at least 5 to 10 private lessons to get good at couple dancing. Lessons are 45-Minute one-on-one with instructor. If you are new to dancing, it’s important to get you past the “mechanical” stage as soon as possible. Only then you can start enjoying dancing naturally. It’s a good idea to schedule your first couple of lessons within the same week for best results.
You will learn how to move to a rhythm, how to listen to the beat of a song, how to align your dance to music, dance on beat, how to turn, lead or follow. You will love your dancing after a short period of time!

Our Technique
Dance is not only a wonderful way to express yourself but also a fantastic spare time activity! You can come alone or with a partner for the same price. The agenda begins with learning the steps and then how to lead or follow. You will love your dancing after completing a program that is tailored to your goals.
We teach the Salsa, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Waltz, Rumba,
Tango, Foxtrot, Cha Cha, and many more. If it’s a dance, we can teach it! Expert dance instruction in an elegant atmosphere, using both contemporary and older music, all to make learning that much more exciting and easy to “walk in and dance out.”
Our group classes are held two to three times a week and are each 45 minutes in length. They are design to be taken in addition to your private lesson. They range from beginner to advanced and are open to all current students. Group classes are an important part of learning to dance because they help you to learn the in’s and out’s of leading and following, to learn a variety of dances and to improve your technique.

We have been learning to dance here for the past 6 months. The environment is friendly and welcoming. Wonderful instructors for all different levels of dance skills. No high pressure sales pitches or confusing contracts. Learn at your own pace and learn the dances you want to learn. Several group lessons of various skill levels are available throughout the week. Monthly parties are a great way to practice what was learned in the private and group lessons. Overall, a very comfortable and fun place to go to dance.

What a wonderful way to spend one’s time! The instruction is spot on, the camaraderie is terrific. Fun, fun, fun. And, the added benefit of keeping the brain and the body active in such a delightful way, can’t be beat.

This place is the most fun dance studio I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so friendly and no matter how badly I dance, I am always made to feel like a princess. Zavier and Alice are the best, sweetest, and most generous dance instructors I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, dancing and getting to know. I highly recommend them, and I guarantee you will learn how to dance.
