Want to learn how to dance? Well you've come to right place. QBS offers dance instruction in both the Latin and Smooth divisions of Ballroom Dancing. In the American Style Latin "Rhythm" division we teach Salsa, Swing, Mambo, Bolero, Paso Doble, Rumba, and the Cha-cha-cha. Hustle is also a group dance that is often taught as well. For American Style "Smooth", we offer lessons in Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Quickstep
Dance sessions are divided into several group classes as well as competitive classes, taught by the society president. Group classes are once a week and last for two hours. All dances are broken down to teach beginners to more advanced dancers. Instruction is also given by our dance coaches, Karen Pfrommer, professional ballroom dancer and owner of "Dance in Rhythm" a ballroom studio in Branford, CT as well as Alex Scott, professional ballroom dancer and theatrical choreographer.
QBS has monthly dance parties which are a great social outlet to dance what you're learning and meet new people from all over. Our dance parties are always a huge success. We have a Live DJ, professional showcase dances, great buffet, and over 3000 Square foot dance floor to get moving! Students from all over campus come out to just general dance and socialize. Surrounding dance studios are also invited to help promote dancing on and off the QU Campus. Please take a look at our events tab for information on our up coming dance parties and showcases. We ask that you read the Team's bio's and learn about their experience's with QBS to get a better understanding of what the organization offers.
