About This Vendor

From First Dance, to Forever!

We started out learning to dance for own wedding, what was true for us, has been true for the thousands of wedding couples we have taught over the past 18 years… YOUR First Dance will form one of strongest memories of your wedding day (we call them ”memory milestones”). Let us help you make this memory all it can be. Our boutique studio, nestled away in our 1904, 3-story Victorian home, allows us to provide you with the ultimate combination of quiet comfort, privacy, and scheduling convenience. We offer the most experience, and the best teaching methods, for the best price, of any dance company in the Baltimore area. We are also the ONLY ballroom dance company to EVER win the Knot, "Best of Weddings" Award (2017-2020) and WeddingWire's Couples Choice Award (2015-2018). No other company has won either, and it's all simply because we make our students happy. We offer a very eclectic variety of dance options, and regularly marry traditional partner dances to non-traditional music, whether it is cross-cultural, or simply unique music you like that you never imagined you could partner dance to. From simple to dramatic, traditional to modern, to uniquely YOU, and everything in between, we offer options to fit every personality, every schedule, and every budget!

ouple both have infectious personalities with huge warming hearts...and get this, they are amazing dance instructors as well! I'm sure there are other studios that can teach you how to dance at your wedding, but these are the ones that you invite to your wedding and party with all night long! With Beginning Ballroom, we didn't just leave with a dance, we left with friends. Well, actually we never left as we have continued to learn new genres long after the Wedding. If you are on here reading reviews and looking for someone to help prepare you for that special day, look no further! Honestly, on top of being great people, the dance instruction is phenomenal. Lee and Christine are fluent in virtually every style, and that personal knowledge helps them to provide the perfect instruction to make sure that you develop the right techniques as well. You will receive an honest approach with hands-on help if needed...and trust me, there were plenty of times when Lee had to grab my 250 lb frame and lead me around the room. All in all, they are 10 out of 10 in every category and I'm so fortunate to have gained such great friends!

I would recommend the experience to any couple as a way of scheduling some mini dates with each other as you approach your wedding with the added bonus of looking awesome during your wedding instead of rocking and swaying back and forth with each other in front of all of your family and friends! Lee and Christine were beyond supportive and knowledgeable and best of all they were down to earth and fun!

We both wanted our first dance to look natural... or as natural as possible for two non-dancers to perform start Latin style dancing at their wedding :) We are currently about 1/3 of the way through our dance lessons before our wedding, and we are both thrilled with how we are progressing under Lee's wonderful instruction! We have learned many different moves that are versatile with several different dance styles (which is important since we have yet to finalize our dance and/or song!). I am so thankful for Lee's patience with teaching us the very basics and progressing at a pace that we are able to follow without feeling rushed or stuck. I truly look forward to our weekly Friday classes, and my fiancé and I plan to continue with our dance lessons as a wonderful date activity after our wedding!

We were gifted a series of 6 private lessons leading up to our wedding. Our first dance was the part of the big day I was least looking forward to, as I've never been particularly gifted with coordination; dancing was always something that made...
me nervous (and in front of all those people!?). Hubby-to-be and I decided on a slow song we thought we could pull off, even though it wasn't "our song." At our first lesson with Lee, he asked us what song we'd been thinking of...we shared our pick and the secret that our actual special song was one we thought we couldn't dance to. Without missing a beat, Lee filled us with confidence that "our song" would be the one we worked on, because you only get one first dance! Over the next 6 weeks, Lee taught us the basics of Jitterbug Swing, and the lessons turned out to be the most fun part of planning for our big day, and even more importantly, an awesome way to bring us together once a week to learn something new. It was a blast, to say the very least. We ended up adding on a month of (super affordable) group classes, just because we were having so much fun, and definitely plan to dance again! Our first dance ended up being one of the most special (and fun) parts of our wedding day. Lee and Christine are wonderful instructors. They meet you where you are with unparalleled humor, and build new moves/steps into your repertoire each week so you gradually build up to being able to not just pull off choreography to one song, but actually being able to dance the style you've learned. Dancing and learning with Lee and Christine feels like spending time with old friends.

me to ease the strain on my back and knee and to turn a touch slower and no one noticed that we were doing the dance slightly modified. We could not dance at all but with practice sessions (you should get the full package) we were able to Rumba our first dance to a live band (harder than you could imagine as his microphone did not work-but we had planned for all contingencies and it we just smiled through it). Everyone noticed that we were really dancing not just swaying. They are very supportive. We did not know that you can hire them to come to your wedding--we were broke but we would have done this as they apparently (by the stories) said that they pinned up dresses and modified the dance to match the dress at the last minute outside the ballroom. We cannot say enough about how patient and even humorous they could be. The studio is up a set of stairs in the back of their home, but they are the real deal!

our big day we felt confident, relaxed and our guests were impressed.

I cannot recommend them enough, and we will be continuing dance lessons with them post-wedding. They tailor lessons to each student's skill level, are extremely flexible with scheduling lessons, are crazy affordable and most importantly they are great at teaching the technical aspects of dance without pulling the fun out of a lesson. Lee and Christine truly helped to make our wedding planning / preparations process so much easier. Just a bit of advice to future brides in closing - give yourself more time for dance lessons then we did (aka more than just a month or so). Our lessons at Beginning Ballroom ended up being a ton of fun and provided us with a great mental break that helped us connect and relax throughout the hectic planning process. Also, tell your seamstress to properly hem your dress so you won't trip during your first dance! This is great advance from Lee that should definitely be followed!

My fiancé and I have taken both group and individual classes as a way to prepare for our Wedding. Lee is a knowledgable instructor, teaching a variety of dances. Neither of us are particularly "good" dancers, but Lee was very patient and encou...

I HIGHLY recommend Beginning Ballroom. My (now) husband and I started casually attending classes as a Valentines gift. Learning to dance was always on my list of ‘to dos’. Lee’s dance style is fun, fresh and informative. We turned these nights ...
into our weekly date night. We would follow up a class by going to dinner and trying to find somewhere else to go out dancing. This gave us something interesting to talk about throughout the whole week, and I would find we often would stop even for just a few minutes during the day to “play around” and practice some of our moves even at home. Lee incorporates classic moves and basic steps not only with the traditional types of music that you would hear at a wedding, but also modern music you could hear at any music festival, bar or cruise. I have found my husband and I always enjoy weddings and events more now as we both have the confidence to get out on the dance floor and practice our moves again. In addition to the weekly classes, Lee and his wife helped my husband and I have an unforgettable first dance. We picked the song, and then we practiced using our basic steps from class, with only a few “special” moves that Lee taught us to spice up the dance. This left our first dance as being very personal, and not pre-choreographed but still something to be proud of. I could enjoy the moment, as opposed to being nervous about people watching me do something I had never practiced before.

My husband and I wanted to take lessons for our 1st dance at our wedding on 5/21/2016. I found Lee and Christine after a quick search for dance lessons. We couldn't be any happier! We attended some group but found the private lessons suited us...
best. They are so welcoming and work with you through everything. Lee was upfront about what we could achieve with the lessons we had which I really appreciated. We wanted to avoid the "prom sway". They did a great job of making us feel comfortable and we enjoyed our lessons each week! I highly recommend them. We loved it so much, we want to keep up with the lessons.

My husband and I were on the fence about whether or not we needed dance lessons and as we were debating, I saw a posting on our neighborhood website for Beginning Ballroom. We decided to give dancing (and dance lessons) a whirl. We signed up fo...
r their Wedding Wednesday package and took 4-5 group lessons leading up to our big day. I found the lessons incredibly helpful and my husband and I both really enjoyed learning and dancing together (which he was surprised by). I know guests at our wedding were impressed with our seamless looking dancing and "moves" and it is one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. I'd highly recommend Beginning Ballroom for dance lessons, especially if they're offering a Wedding Wednesday package

My husband and I took lessons with Lee and Christine to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. We didn’t have a particular song in mind, so Lee made some great suggestions for us to choose from. Lee was upfront with us about what was achie...
vable given the time and number of lessons we had, and we were very pleased with the result. During lessons, Lee made sure we both really understood our roles in each step that we learned, and we were able to call him for help when we got confused practicing at home. Lee is pretty chatty, so he would be talking throughout the lesson, which really helped us learn to dance with distractions going on around us.

We certainly won't forget our friends and families reactions to our dance. Truly an incredible experience with incredible people! You will not be disappointed with the results they give you.

Lee and Christine work dancing miracles. My only goal going into lessons was to get my then fiancé to be comfortable enough to endure the entire first dance without bolting off the floor with a panic attack. I didn’t care how we looked, didn’t ...
care what type of dance, just wanted her on the dance floor for one whole song. That was as high as I could hope for before we started lessons. On our wedding night, she not only enjoyed the full length of our west coast swing dance, but got excited and would ask me to dance again later when she heard songs that would work with it! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and I would definitely recommend the 10 week session, it’s worth every penny. During the sessions Lee liked to hold lengthy conversations with us while we were practicing, which drove me nuts at first. I learned he did it because my fiancé would absentmindedly relax and do really well when she felt like no one was really paying attention to the dancing. Best.Trick.Ever. It also helped me deal with the distraction of guests talking all around us. Whatever he says just go with it, he is dance yoda and there is always a reason. They run the lessons out of their house, which comes with a few small quirks like the occasional interruption by a small child. When this happened Lee always made sure to let the lesson run over so we got the full hour we paid for. In my opinion, the relaxed atmosphere, super flexible schedule, on-call second teacher, and one on one attention is well worth overlooking anything out of the ordinary. Also, they are super same-sex friendly so if you are worried about that I promise it's a non issue. I would definitely recommend doing the 10 week wedding package with Christine and Lee. My wife and I are hoping to continue our lessons some time later this year, hope you see you there!

My husband and I took dance lessons from Beginning Ballroom prior to our wedding. We had a great time learning not only a great selection of moves for our first dance, a foxtrot, but also the steps to several other dances including swing, the ...
waltz, rhumba, and even salsa. Beginning ballroom's private lessons were a great break from wedding planning where we could just focus on spending time together and having fun. In fact, we enjoyed the lessons so much that we continued even after our wedding! We had a wonderful time dancing throughout our wedding and had many guests come up to complement us on how great our first dance was. In addition, now that we know how to dance, we have much more fun at weddings and other events where there is dancing. Beginning Ballroom has a great atmosphere for learning to dance. They are really willing to tailor your lessons to what you want, be that to learn a number of different steps, or learn and polish a dance for your wedding.

a patient, enthusiastic and encouraging Lee, we had an amazing fist dance. Lee was able to break down the steps in various ways until it clicked. He was also very flexible with lesson times, as we are both physicians and have crazy schedules.

We are thinking about continuing the group lessons just for fun

ly enjoyed himself. He felt confident enough to start going on "field trips" with them to nightclubs so he could get out in public, but still have the teacher nearby. Actually, we met one night when Lee and Christine were teaching! Since our first dance ever happened with them, it was only fitting that our first dance as a married couple would be choreographed by them! :) For our first dance lessons, they work around our crazy schedule, work with the song we choose or make suggestions, and work within our budget to put together a dance that will make us look and feel natural. They have years of expertise and offer valuable consulting tips on our outfits, DJ or band, and staging to avoid problems. They are knowledgeable and patient teachers because they started as a wedding couple and told us they made all the same mistakes. They really understand how to make us feel comfortable dancing and working with each other. They even gave us a great piece of marriage advice we would like to share. Marriage, like learning to dance, is about forgetting where each of us ends and the other begins. We are no longer "him" and "me" but "us", and the best way to thrive as a couple is to create that kind of cohesiveness, rather than fighting to maintain our individuality. Since they have been married for 23 years and working together in the same company for 12, they might be on to something. We did debate taking lessons for the wedding, since we weren’t sure we wanted to invest the time or money. They reminded us that we have spent a lot of time dressing up ourselves and our event to create the memories we want to last forever and much of it will be on film and video (not to mention facebook, and You Tube). It makes sense to dress up our dancing a bit too, so it all goes smoothly. We have only good things to say about them. They have become great friends in the time since we first met them, and we plan to be back whenever we can.
